Horizon view
Horizon from Korolev W
0.1837° S, 160.5277° W · cell 3MEK
- Highest horizon point
- Korolev W: 14.8° above the horizontal, 17.1 km away at azimuth 326°.
- Farthest visible point
- 18.0 km away at azimuth 328°, 14.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 545 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 72.9° under it at azimuth 265°. At 2026-10-22 20:03:48 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 1.9 km, the global LOLA terrain tier of 16 pixels per degree; relief smaller than that, near or far, is smoothed, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.
