Horizon view
Horizon from Blancanus V
64.3381° S, 21.4260° W · cell 20DGH
- Highest horizon point
- Blancanus: 17.0° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 62°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 0°, 13.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 4,458 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 14.3° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 62° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 17.0°. At 2026-10-22 18:54:43 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.

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.
