Horizon view
Horizon from Apollo 11
0.6742° N, 23.4731° E · cell 26NEF
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 1.0° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 244°.
- Farthest visible point
- 29.9 km away at azimuth 52°, -0.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,926 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 55.1° high at azimuth 267°, 54.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-09-27 05:46:43 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 474 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
- 244° Unnamed, 2.84 km away, 1.0° high, 53 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.
