Horizon view
Horizon from Moltke A
1.0509° S, 23.1685° E · cell 26MDD
- Highest horizon point
- Moltke A: 13.1° above the horizontal, 1.18 km away at azimuth 241°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.37 km away at azimuth 108°, 8.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,490 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 73.4° high at azimuth 91°, 64.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:30:48 UTC, when this page was served.
