Horizon view

Horizon from Cabeus A

82.0770° S, 40.2403° W · cell ATV

Highest horizon point
Cabeus A: 10.4° above the horizontal, 20.4 km away at azimuth 210°.
Farthest visible point
45.7 km away at azimuth 171°, 9.0° from the horizontal.
Observer
Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,268 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
Sun at the rendered time
The Sun is 2.5° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 82° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 7.0°. At 2026-10-22 10:46:38 UTC, when this page was served.
Resolution
Terrain resolution: about 160 m at this point and about 1.9 km at the farthest samples; nearby foreground relief is smoothed at the coarser tiers, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.

Peaks on the skyline

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.
