Horizon view
Horizon from Kostinskiy E
15.1700° N, 122.5927° E · cell 38PJD
- Highest horizon point
- Kostinskiy E: 12.3° above the horizontal, 14.2 km away at azimuth 68°.
- Farthest visible point
- 17.1 km away at azimuth 252°, 5.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,340 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 5.7° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 267° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 6.2°. At 2026-10-22 15:23:17 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.
