Horizon view
Horizon from Babakin
20.8126° S, 123.2635° E · cell 38KJV
- Highest horizon point
- Fermi: 16.0° above the horizontal, 8.53 km away at azimuth 43°.
- Farthest visible point
- 9.48 km away at azimuth 69°, 15.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,827 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 6.6° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 271° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 14.2°. At 2026-10-22 13:34:12 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.
