Horizon view
Horizon from Maskelyne P
0.4737° N, 34.1369° E · cell 27NHL
- Highest horizon point
- Maskelyne A: 19.7° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 68°.
- Farthest visible point
- 8.53 km away at azimuth 225°, 3.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,172 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 87.5° high at azimuth 137°, 74.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 21:21:58 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.
