Horizon view
Horizon from Chang'e 5
43.0576° N, 51.9161° W · cell 17TBT
- Highest horizon point
- Mons Heng: 1.4° above the horizontal, 13.3 km away at azimuth 198°.
- Farthest visible point
- 18.0 km away at azimuth 184°, -0.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,545 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 40.3° under it at azimuth 318°. At 2026-11-11 08:51:46 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.
