- Al-Khwarizmi L: 10.2° above the horizontal, 16.1 km away at azimuth 143°.
- Farthest visible point
- 18.9 km away at azimuth 63°, 7.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 573 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 21.6° high at azimuth 267°, 15.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:49:17 UTC, when this page was served.
