Horizon view
Horizon from Cepheus
40.6810° N, 45.7806° E · cell 29TCQ
- Highest horizon point
- Cepheus: 12.4° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 53°.
- Farthest visible point
- 21.8 km away at azimuth 175°, 8.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 4,227 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 47.5° high at azimuth 190°, 38.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 15:16:19 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
- 53° Cepheus, 1.90 km away, 12.4° high, 420 m above the ground here
- 229° Cepheus, 1.90 km away, 11.5° high, 389 m above the ground here
- 130° Cepheus, 18.9 km away, 10.1° high, 3,489 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.
