Horizon view
Horizon from Cavendish L
21.7082° S, 53.7661° W · cell 16KHP
- Highest horizon point
- Cavendish L: 16.5° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 160°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 82°, 5.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 699 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 0.5° under it at azimuth 92°. At 2026-10-22 18:24:12 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
- 160° Cavendish L, 1.90 km away, 16.5° high, 565 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.
