Horizon view
Horizon from Cepheus A
41.0351° N, 46.5071° E · cell 29TDQ
- Highest horizon point
- Cepheus A: 24.4° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 12°.
- Farthest visible point
- 5.69 km away at azimuth 0°, 24.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,216 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 47.0° high at azimuth 191°, 30.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 15:16:51 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
- 12° Cepheus A, 5.69 km away, 24.4° high, 2,585 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.
