Horizon view
Horizon from Cassini W
42.3482° N, 4.2541° E · cell 24TBB
- Highest horizon point
- Cassini W: 13.2° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 336°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 18°, 6.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,004 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 36.1° high at azimuth 135°, 27.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 14:25:19 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
- 336° Cassini W, 1.90 km away, 13.2° high, 445 m above the ground here
- 186° Cassini W, 1.90 km away, 10.8° high, 362 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.
