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 below the horizon: 82.2° under it at azimuth 238°. At 2026-11-11 08:51:51 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.
