Horizon view
Horizon from Urey
27.9335° N, 87.4286° E · cell 34REP
- Highest horizon point
- Urey: 9.3° above the horizontal, 18.0 km away at azimuth 182°.
- Farthest visible point
- 21.8 km away at azimuth 103°, 6.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,633 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 34.6° high at azimuth 246°, 27.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:14:57 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.
