47.0582° N, 96.9930° W · cell 11TEC
- Highest horizon point
- McLaughlin U: 14.5° above the horizontal, 14.2 km away at azimuth 96°.
- Farthest visible point
- 18.0 km away at azimuth 177°, 7.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,303 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 30.2° under it at azimuth 54°. At 2026-10-22 16:14:43 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.
