Horizon view
Horizon from Anaximenes
72.4850° N, 44.9825° W · cell 17XGN
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 2.4° above the horizontal, 44.5 km away at azimuth 77°.
- Farthest visible point
- 56.9 km away at azimuth 98°, 1.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,202 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 0.0° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 95° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 1.2°. At 2026-10-22 11:55:00 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.
Vertical scale exaggerated 10x (horizontal 4 px per degree). Eye 2 m above the ground.Scroll sideways to turn; the middle faces 77°.

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.
