Horizon from Chang'e 4

45.4570° S, 177.5890° E · cell 45GGQ

Highest horizon point
An unnamed point: 2.9° above the horizontal, 50.2 km away at azimuth 162°.
Farthest visible point
130 km away at azimuth 284°, -0.1° from the horizontal.
Observer
Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 5,928 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
Sun at the rendered time
The Sun is below the horizon: 43.0° under it at azimuth 168°. At 2026-09-27 05:46:45 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

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.
