Horizon view
Horizon from Catena Abulfeda
16.5912° S, 16.7001° E · cell 25KFV
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 11.0° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 164°.
- Farthest visible point
- 91.0 km away at azimuth 303°, -1.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,025 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 62.3° high at azimuth 59°, 61.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 12:43:09 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.
