- Birt: 1.8° above the horizontal, 18.0 km away at azimuth 349°.
- Farthest visible point
- 33.2 km away at azimuth 106°, 0.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,070 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 40.0° high at azimuth 71°, 38.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:42:22 UTC, when this page was served.
