- Williams: 2.9° above the horizontal, 18.9 km away at azimuth 119°.
- Farthest visible point
- 23.7 km away at azimuth 357°, 0.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,026 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 46.6° high at azimuth 178°, 44.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 15:38:26 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.
