Horizon view
Horizon from Cantor C
39.3154° N, 120.4747° E · cell 38SFN
- Highest horizon point
- Cantor C: 11.8° above the horizontal, 9.48 km away at azimuth 108°.
- Farthest visible point
- 12.3 km away at azimuth 165°, 8.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 847 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 4.6° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 264° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 9.2°. At 2026-10-22 17:58:00 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.
