Horizon view
Horizon from Laue U
28.6928° N, 101.5020° W · cell 10RHQ
- Highest horizon point
- Laue U: 5.6° above the horizontal, 27.5 km away at azimuth 2°.
- Farthest visible point
- 57.8 km away at azimuth 263°, 1.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 907 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 45.0° under it at azimuth 59°. At 2026-10-22 11:05:49 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.
