Horizon view

Horizon from Apollo 13 S-IVB impact

2.5550° S, 27.8875° W · cell 20MAB

Highest horizon point
Lansberg B: 3.6° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 286°.
Farthest visible point
66.3 km away at azimuth 44°, -0.4° from the horizontal.
Observer
Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,177 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
Sun at the rendered time
The Sun is above the local horizon: 73.5° high at azimuth 85°, 73.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-09-27 05:47:26 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

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.
