Horizon view
Horizon from Bolyai L
36.4828° S, 126.6616° E · cell 39HDF
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 7.8° above the horizontal, 37.9 km away at azimuth 297°.
- Farthest visible point
- 64.4 km away at azimuth 101°, 1.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,211 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 3.7° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 271° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 4.6°. At 2026-10-22 12:43:11 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
- 297° Unnamed, 37.9 km away, 7.8° high, 5,628 m above the ground here
- 184° Bolyai L, 1.90 km away, 4.7° high, 160 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.
