Horizon view
Horizon from Ctesibius
0.8348° N, 118.7510° E · cell 38NDG
- Highest horizon point
- Ctesibius: 10.7° above the horizontal, 14.2 km away at azimuth 264°.
- Farthest visible point
- 19.9 km away at azimuth 199°, 9.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 711 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 8.8° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 268° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 10.4°. At 2026-10-22 17:57:16 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.
