7.7033° N, 140.0949° E · cell 41NAQ
- Highest horizon point
- Richards: 22.4° above the horizontal, 7.58 km away at azimuth 80°.
- Farthest visible point
- 8.53 km away at azimuth 61°, 21.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,868 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 11.3° under it at azimuth 270°. At 2026-10-22 15:17:13 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.
