Horizon from Lauritsen A
24.8578° S, 96.9580° E · cell 35JGQ
- Highest horizon point
- Lauritsen A: 8.4° above the horizontal, 16.1 km away at azimuth 285°.
- Farthest visible point
- 22.7 km away at azimuth 113°, 4.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,258 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 30.0° high at azimuth 284°, 21.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:44:53 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.
