Horizon view
Horizon from Kostinskiy D
16.0810° N, 123.0779° E · cell 38QJE
- Highest horizon point
- Kostinskiy D: 8.5° above the horizontal, 18.9 km away at azimuth 152°.
- Farthest visible point
- 25.6 km away at azimuth 0°, 4.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 652 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 4.3° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 267° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 5.2°. At 2026-10-22 17:09:02 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.
