Horizon view
Horizon from Billy D
14.8562° S, 48.3934° W · cell 17LEG
- Highest horizon point
- Billy D: 23.9° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 96°.
- Farthest visible point
- 4.74 km away at azimuth 0°, 20.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,878 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 2.9° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 91° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 23.8°. At 2026-10-22 15:16:57 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.

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.
