Horizon view
Horizon from Bolyai Q
36.2936° S, 123.0430° E · cell 38HHA
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 13.5° above the horizontal, 18.9 km away at azimuth 235°.
- Farthest visible point
- 40.8 km away at azimuth 59°, 6.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,585 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 6.1° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 273° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 12.8°. At 2026-10-22 13:49:08 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
- 235° Unnamed, 18.9 km away, 13.5° high, 4,654 m above the ground here
- 130° Bolyai Q, 11.4 km away, 9.2° high, 1,879 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.
