Horizon view
Horizon from Vernadskiy X
25.8222° N, 128.9971° E · cell 39RGB
- Highest horizon point
- Vernadskiy X: 6.2° above the horizontal, 30.3 km away at azimuth 100°.
- Farthest visible point
- 37.0 km away at azimuth 350°, 2.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,206 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 1.2° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 268° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 4.8°. At 2026-10-22 11:06:42 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.
