42.6996° N, 30.5087° E · cell 27TDB
- Highest horizon point
- Mason: 4.4° above the horizontal, 18.9 km away at azimuth 82°.
- Farthest visible point
- 28.4 km away at azimuth 230°, 2.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,073 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 45.4° high at azimuth 169°, 41.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:16:27 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.
