Horizon view
Horizon from Cavendish M
21.9737° S, 53.9137° W · cell 16KHP
- Highest horizon point
- Cavendish M: 12.9° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 306°.
- Farthest visible point
- 6.63 km away at azimuth 52°, 8.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 761 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 0.0° under it at azimuth 91°. At 2026-10-22 19:43:05 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.

- 54° Cavendish L, 6.63 km away, 8.3° high, 981 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.
