- South Massif: 15.1° above the horizontal, 8.53 km away at azimuth 237°.
- Farthest visible point
- 37.4 km away at azimuth 112°, 1.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,633 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 67.1° high at azimuth 159°, 63.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 15:38:28 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 474 m at this point and about 1.9 km at the farthest samples; nearby foreground relief is smoothed at the coarser tiers, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.
