Horizon view

Horizon from Cassegrain H

52.8357° S, 115.6559° E · cell 37FHR

Highest horizon point
An unnamed point: 6.6° above the horizontal, 54.0 km away at azimuth 55°.
Farthest visible point
89.1 km away at azimuth 156°, 3.2° from the horizontal.
Observer
Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,095 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
Sun at the rendered time
The Sun is above the local horizon: 9.5° high at azimuth 280°, 4.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:45:02 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.
