Horizon view
Horizon from Aitken
16.4430° S, 172.9583° E · cell 45KBL
- Highest horizon point
- Aitken: 7.8° above the horizontal, 10.4 km away at azimuth 62°.
- Farthest visible point
- 104 km away at azimuth 332°, 3.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,232 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 39.3° under it at azimuth 254°. At 2026-10-22 11:05:34 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.

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.
