Horizon view

Horizon from Bečvář S

3.3016° S, 121.4042° E · cell 38MGA

Highest horizon point
Bečvář S: 14.3° above the horizontal, 7.58 km away at azimuth 88°.
Farthest visible point
7.58 km away at azimuth 27°, 12.5° from the horizontal.
Observer
Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 36 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
Sun at the rendered time
The Sun is 7.1° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 269° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 9.8°. At 2026-10-22 16:15:49 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.
