1.7738° S, 78.2015° E · cell 33MCH
- Highest horizon point
- Van Vleck: 10.6° above the horizontal, 17.1 km away at azimuth 285°.
- Farthest visible point
- 18.0 km away at azimuth 100°, 7.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,762 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 50.2° high at azimuth 270°, 40.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:15:03 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.
