- Highest horizon point
- Nikolaev: 10.6° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 297°.
- Farthest visible point
- 23.7 km away at azimuth 218°, 6.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 975 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 20.8° under it at azimuth 284°. At 2026-10-22 19:42:57 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.
