- Plutarch M: 25.7° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 140°.
- Farthest visible point
- 5.69 km away at azimuth 0°, 18.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,170 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 45.5° high at azimuth 241°, 26.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:31:08 UTC, when this page was served.
