- Kurchatov W: 11.1° above the horizontal, 16.1 km away at azimuth 204°.
- Farthest visible point
- 23.7 km away at azimuth 41°, 8.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,250 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 276°. At 2026-10-22 13:48:58 UTC, when this page was served.
