Horizon view
Horizon from Idel'son
81.3478° S, 112.6939° E · cell BKH
- Highest horizon point
- Idel'son: 8.3° above the horizontal, 6.48 km away at azimuth 11°.
- Farthest visible point
- 32.5 km away at azimuth 71°, 3.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 4,175 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is on the skyline at azimuth 288°: part of its disc shows above the terrain (4.1° high, the skyline 4.3°). At 2026-10-22 11:05:10 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 160 m at this point and about 1.9 km at the farthest samples; nearby foreground relief is smoothed at the coarser tiers, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.
