- Auwers: 10.3° above the horizontal, 10.4 km away at azimuth 172°.
- Farthest visible point
- 16.1 km away at azimuth 84°, 5.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,554 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 63.5° high at azimuth 126°, 57.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:42:20 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.
