Horizon view
Horizon from Cassini
40.2503° N, 4.6437° E · cell 24TBU
- Highest horizon point
- Cassini: 4.7° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 352°.
- Farthest visible point
- 35.1 km away at azimuth 266°, -0.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,001 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 36.8° high at azimuth 132°, 35.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:39 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
- 352° Cassini, 0.95 km away, 4.7° high, 81 m above the ground here
- 102° Cassini, 4.74 km away, 4.4° high, 372 m above the ground here
- 249° Cassini, 28.4 km away, -0.0° high, 219 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.
