Horizon view
Horizon from Birkhoff Z
60.9774° N, 145.8792° W · cell 5VDU
- Highest horizon point
- Birkhoff Z: 15.1° above the horizontal, 13.3 km away at azimuth 83°.
- Farthest visible point
- 35.1 km away at azimuth 216°, 3.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,543 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 30.2° under it at azimuth 353°. At 2026-10-22 13:30:09 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
- 83° Birkhoff Z, 13.3 km away, 15.1° high, 3,634 m above the ground here
- 349° Birkhoff Z, 13.3 km away, 14.3° high, 3,449 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.
