Horizon view
Horizon from Maskelyne N
5.3490° N, 30.3647° E · cell 27NDS
- Highest horizon point
- Maskelyne N: 8.2° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 20°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 80°, 5.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,444 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 80.2° high at azimuth 133°, 74.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:04:56 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.
