- Chawla: 22.1° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 273°.
- Farthest visible point
- 7.58 km away at azimuth 0°, 17.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 8,414 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 46.0° under it at azimuth 186°. At 2026-10-22 19:24:18 UTC, when this page was served.
