Aepinus: 10.8° above the horizontal, 8.64 km away at azimuth 295°.
Farthest visible point
30.0 km away at azimuth 237°, 3.1° from the horizontal.
Observer
Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 464 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
Sun at the rendered time
The Sun is below the horizon: 3.1° under it at azimuth 31°. At 2026-10-22 15:16:59 UTC, when this page was served.

Peaks on the skyline

A ray every 0.5 degrees out to 200 km across the NASA LRO LOLA terrain, the curvature of the Moon included; each peak is named only when an IAU feature's mapped footprint lies over the point that forms it. Smooth terrain between samples, no boulders.
