Horizon view
Horizon from Tsiolkovskiy X
14.7239° S, 126.4734° E · cell 39LDN
- Highest horizon point
- Tsiolkovskiy X: 20.6° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 167°.
- Farthest visible point
- 5.69 km away at azimuth 0°, 17.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,872 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 2.2° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 269° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 17.1°. At 2026-10-22 16:17:03 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.
