Horizon view

Horizon from Barrow K

69.2880° N, 11.7446° E · cell 24WGQ

Highest horizon point
Barrow K: 3.1° above the horizontal, 22.7 km away at azimuth 319°.
Farthest visible point
30.3 km away at azimuth 36°, 1.9° from the horizontal.
Observer
Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,284 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
Sun at the rendered time
The Sun is above the local horizon: 17.2° high at azimuth 153°, 16.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:57:57 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.
