Horizon view
Horizon from Idel'son L
83.9919° S, 118.5631° E · cell BGJ
- Highest horizon point
- Idel'son L: 12.6° above the horizontal, 13.4 km away at azimuth 345°.
- Farthest visible point
- 15.2 km away at azimuth 312°, 10.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 4,085 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 2.3° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 279° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 10.9°. At 2026-10-22 17:57:51 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.
