Horizon view
Horizon from Apollo 14 S-IVB impact
8.1810° S, 26.0305° W · cell 20LCR
- Highest horizon point
- Montes Riphaeus: 1.4° above the horizontal, 40.8 km away at azimuth 320°.
- Farthest visible point
- 56.9 km away at azimuth 252°, -0.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,778 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 73.7° high at azimuth 64°, 73.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-09-27 05:47:35 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.

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.
