Horizon view
Horizon from Aitken G
16.7098° S, 173.9942° E · cell 45KCK
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 10.4° above the horizontal, 43.6 km away at azimuth 59°.
- Farthest visible point
- 81.5 km away at azimuth 352°, 2.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,293 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 42.8° under it at azimuth 252°. At 2026-10-22 16:42:16 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.

- 59° Unnamed, 43.6 km away, 10.4° high, 8,607 m above the ground here
- 293° Aitken, 18.9 km away, 4.1° high, 1,475 m above the ground here
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.
