Horizon view
Horizon from Maskelyne B
1.9702° N, 28.9647° E · cell 27NBN
- Highest horizon point
- Maskelyne B: 20.0° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 255°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 0°, 18.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,264 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 79.2° high at azimuth 108°, 62.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 14:33:59 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.
