Horizon view
Horizon from Chandrayaan-2
70.8810° S, 22.7840° E · cell 26DEV
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 3.4° above the horizontal, 64.4 km away at azimuth 215°.
- Farthest visible point
- 95.7 km away at azimuth 177°, 0.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 844 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 16.6° high at azimuth 324°, 16.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-09-27 05:47:42 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.

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.
