Horizon view
Horizon from Censorinus W
1.0216° S, 37.4886° E · cell 28MBU
- Highest horizon point
- Censorinus W: 11.4° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 175°.
- Farthest visible point
- 4.74 km away at azimuth 34°, 8.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 60 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 89.5° high at azimuth 227°, 80.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:49:29 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.

- 43° Censorinus W, 4.74 km away, 10.9° high, 925 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.
