Horizon view
Horizon from Cauchy E
8.8323° N, 38.5652° E · cell 28PDL
- Highest horizon point
- Cauchy E: 5.1° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 208°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 21°, 2.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 846 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 79.8° high at azimuth 181°, 75.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:13:58 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
- 208° Cauchy E, 0.95 km away, 5.1° high, 86 m above the ground here
- 349° Cauchy E, 1.90 km away, 3.7° high, 127 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.
