Horizon view
Horizon from Birkhoff M
54.5016° N, 145.0623° W · cell 5UEM
- Highest horizon point
- Birkhoff M: 19.2° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 233°.
- Farthest visible point
- 16.1 km away at azimuth 167°, 8.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 499 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 36.8° under it at azimuth 356°. At 2026-10-22 16:16:26 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.

- 94° Birkhoff M, 4.74 km away, 16.6° high, 1,426 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.
