Horizon from Birt J
23.0013° S, 9.5032° W · cell 22KDN
- Highest horizon point
- Birt: 1.7° above the horizontal, 24.6 km away at azimuth 60°.
- Farthest visible point
- 31.3 km away at azimuth 34°, 0.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,349 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 38.9° high at azimuth 72°, 38.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:42:19 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
- 60° Birt, 24.6 km away, 1.7° high, 906 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.
