Horizon view
Horizon from Maskelyne
2.1558° N, 30.0437° E · cell 27NCN
- Highest horizon point
- Maskelyne: 11.1° above the horizontal, 10.4 km away at azimuth 44°.
- Farthest visible point
- 13.3 km away at azimuth 122°, 8.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,476 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 81.3° high at azimuth 114°, 72.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:09:12 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.
