Horizon view
Horizon from Maskelyne J
3.1351° N, 32.6290° E · cell 27NFP
- Highest horizon point
- Maskelyne J: 4.3° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 176°.
- Farthest visible point
- 5.69 km away at azimuth 235°, 2.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,043 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 84.7° high at azimuth 148°, 81.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 22:06:42 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.
