Horizon view
Horizon from Amundsen C
80.7588° S, 85.2121° E · cell BMN
- Highest horizon point
- Amundsen C: 18.7° above the horizontal, 10.7 km away at azimuth 348°.
- Farthest visible point
- 16.7 km away at azimuth 24°, 14.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 714 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 7.9° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 315° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 16.5°. At 2026-10-22 12:24:08 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 160 m at this point and about 1.9 km at the farthest samples; nearby foreground relief is smoothed at the coarser tiers, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.

Peaks on the skyline
- 348° Amundsen C, 10.7 km away, 18.7° high, 3,666 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.
