Horizon view
Horizon from Archimedes L
25.0411° N, 2.6109° W · cell 23RCR
- Highest horizon point
- Archimedes L: 5.2° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 287°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 128°, 2.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,563 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 42.1° high at azimuth 117°, 39.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 15:39:30 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
- 287° Archimedes L, 0.95 km away, 5.2° high, 88 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.
