Horizon view
Horizon from Meshcherskiy X
16.1503° N, 124.3598° E · cell 39QAK
- Highest horizon point
- Meshcherskiy X: 7.2° above the horizontal, 21.8 km away at azimuth 323°.
- Farthest visible point
- 24.6 km away at azimuth 88°, 5.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 844 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 2.6° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 268° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 5.5°. At 2026-10-22 18:05:04 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.
