- Petit: 12.5° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 334°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 0°, 11.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,036 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 66.2° high at azimuth 261°, 57.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:17:43 UTC, when this page was served.
