Horizon view
Horizon from Blancanus N
63.2617° S, 25.8587° W · cell 20EDJ
- Highest horizon point
- Blancanus N: 23.5° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 33°.
- Farthest visible point
- 5.69 km away at azimuth 90°, 15.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 527 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 12.1° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 68° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 19.1°. At 2026-10-22 14:33:22 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
- 33° Blancanus N, 3.79 km away, 23.5° high, 1,658 m above the ground here
- 158° Blancanus N, 4.74 km away, 14.3° high, 1,217 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.
