Horizon view
Horizon from Cauchy V
8.9592° N, 41.4440° E · cell 28PGL
- Highest horizon point
- Cauchy V: 8.8° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 198°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 23°, 6.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,499 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 79.6° high at azimuth 189°, 70.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:31:01 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.
