40.9034° N, 50.8261° W · cell 17TCQ
- Highest horizon point
- Mairan G: 16.8° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 229°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 42°, 15.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,311 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 1.3° under it at azimuth 91°. At 2026-10-22 13:48:59 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.
