Horizon view
Horizon from Anaximander U
64.1381° N, 48.5011° W · cell 17WEC
- Highest horizon point
- Anaximander U: 17.4° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 288°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 0°, 12.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,154 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 0.1° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 93° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 14.7°. At 2026-10-22 16:16:37 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
- 288° Anaximander U, 2.84 km away, 17.4° high, 892 m above the ground here
- 82° Anaximander U, 3.79 km away, 15.1° high, 1,028 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.
