Horizon view
Horizon from Clausius
36.9030° S, 43.9347° W · cell 18HBF
- Highest horizon point
- Clausius: 10.2° above the horizontal, 10.4 km away at azimuth 111°.
- Farthest visible point
- 13.3 km away at azimuth 0°, 6.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,301 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 5.8° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 87° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 9.2°. At 2026-10-22 13:34:12 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.
