Horizon view
Horizon from Biot A
22.2177° S, 48.8346° E · cell 29KFU
- Highest horizon point
- Biot A: 19.8° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 229°.
- Farthest visible point
- 7.58 km away at azimuth 0°, 12.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 900 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 65.5° high at azimuth 327°, 53.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 21:42:07 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.

- 229° Biot A, 6.63 km away, 19.8° high, 2,402 m above the ground here
- 32° Biot A, 6.63 km away, 13.4° high, 1,601 m above the ground here
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.
