Horizon view
Horizon from Maskelyne F
4.1770° N, 35.2979° E · cell 27NJR
- Highest horizon point
- Maskelyne F: 1.8° above the horizontal, 11.4 km away at azimuth 74°.
- Farthest visible point
- 20.9 km away at azimuth 331°, 0.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 828 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 84.4° high at azimuth 173°, 83.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 21:01:16 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.
