- Spencer Jones: 7.7° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 173°.
- Farthest visible point
- 58.8 km away at azimuth 215°, 3.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 367 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 35.3° under it at azimuth 278°. At 2026-10-22 13:31:20 UTC, when this page was served.
