Horizon view

Horizon from Capella R

6.0473° S, 35.2107° E · cell 27MJC

Highest horizon point
Capella R: 14.5° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 113°.
Farthest visible point
3.79 km away at azimuth 3°, 6.9° from the horizontal.
Observer
Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,676 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
Sun at the rendered time
The Sun is above the local horizon: 84.3° high at azimuth 34°, 72.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:17:15 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

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.
