48.7459° N, 140.4794° E · cell 41UCE
- Highest horizon point
- De Moraes S: 8.5° above the horizontal, 22.7 km away at azimuth 78°.
- Farthest visible point
- 51.2 km away at azimuth 289°, 2.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,778 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 9.0° under it at azimuth 278°. At 2026-10-22 16:16:51 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.
