Horizon view
Horizon from Cauchy
9.5561° N, 38.6261° E · cell 28PDM
- Highest horizon point
- Cauchy: 20.7° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 30°.
- Farthest visible point
- 5.69 km away at azimuth 23°, 20.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,370 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 79.0° high at azimuth 186°, 59.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:57:32 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.
