Horizon view
Horizon from Birkhoff L
56.3389° N, 145.3432° W · cell 5VEP
- Highest horizon point
- Birkhoff L: 9.9° above the horizontal, 17.1 km away at azimuth 265°.
- Farthest visible point
- 18.9 km away at azimuth 45°, 4.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,897 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 34.9° under it at azimuth 354°. At 2026-10-22 13:30:00 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.

- 77° Birkhoff K, 18.0 km away, 9.8° high, 3,199 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.
