Horizon view

Horizon from Apollo 16 S-IVB impact

1.9210° N, 24.6230° W · cell 20NEH

Highest horizon point
Reinhold: 0.7° above the horizontal, 45.5 km away at azimuth 58°.
Farthest visible point
54.0 km away at azimuth 70°, 0.3° from the horizontal.
Observer
Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,094 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
Sun at the rendered time
The Sun is above the local horizon: 76.5° high at azimuth 102°, 76.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-09-27 05:47:25 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.
