Horizon view
Horizon from Maskelyne K
3.2289° N, 29.6869° E · cell 27NCP
- Highest horizon point
- Maskelyne K: 10.1° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 264°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 27°, 8.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,083 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 79.3° high at azimuth 115°, 71.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 14:29:15 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.
