23.9393° S, 2.8078° W · cell 23KBR
- Highest horizon point
- Purbach G: 8.4° above the horizontal, 12.3 km away at azimuth 292°.
- Farthest visible point
- 35.1 km away at azimuth 224°, 2.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,186 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 43.1° high at azimuth 68°, 37.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:45:09 UTC, when this page was served.
