Horizon view
Horizon from Aitken Z
14.8904° S, 173.2063° E · cell 45LBM
- Highest horizon point
- Aitken Z: 14.1° above the horizontal, 18.0 km away at azimuth 36°.
- Farthest visible point
- 69.2 km away at azimuth 119°, 6.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,726 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 41.2° under it at azimuth 255°. At 2026-10-22 13:45:11 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.

Peaks on the skyline
- 36° Aitken Z, 18.0 km away, 14.1° high, 4,618 m above the ground here
- 340° Aitken Z, 15.2 km away, 13.7° high, 3,777 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.
