Horizon view
Horizon from Chien-Shiung Wu
41.8800° S, 153.6800° W · cell 4GDK
- Highest horizon point
- Mons Song: 3.8° above the horizontal, 37.0 km away at azimuth 197°.
- Farthest visible point
- 63.5 km away at azimuth 141°, 0.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 5,261 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 44.7° under it at azimuth 201°. At 2026-10-22 10:47:36 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.

- 165° Mons Song, 50.2 km away, 1.9° high, 2,363 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.
