5.2770° N, 80.0097° E · cell 33NFS

Highest horizon point
Banachiewicz: 14.1° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 235°.
Farthest visible point
55.0 km away at azimuth 356°, 1.4° from the horizontal.
Observer
Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,917 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
Sun at the rendered time
The Sun is above the local horizon: 50.5° high at azimuth 261°, 37.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:36 UTC, when this page was served.

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.
