- Poinsot E: 13.4° above the horizontal, 12.4 km away at azimuth 260°.
- Farthest visible point
- 16.9 km away at azimuth 207°, 9.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,451 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 11.4° under it at azimuth 11°. At 2026-10-22 16:42:09 UTC, when this page was served.
