5.1622° N, 117.1518° E · cell 38NBM
- Highest horizon point
- Viviani: 11.8° above the horizontal, 13.3 km away at azimuth 1°.
- Farthest visible point
- 15.2 km away at azimuth 195°, 7.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 219 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 9.9° high at azimuth 268°, 0.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:36:25 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.
