Horizon view
Horizon from Kostinskiy B
16.5391° N, 119.9262° E · cell 38QEF
- Highest horizon point
- Kostinskiy B: 16.8° above the horizontal, 8.53 km away at azimuth 94°.
- Farthest visible point
- 10.4 km away at azimuth 138°, 14.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,270 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 9.0° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 266° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 13.1°. At 2026-10-22 13:44:56 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.
