- Boscovich B: 11.9° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 321°.
- Farthest visible point
- 1.90 km away at azimuth 92°, 6.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,110 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 59.2° high at azimuth 110°, 51.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:56:51 UTC, when this page was served.
