Horizon view
Horizon from Cusanus E
71.7263° N, 73.1157° E · cell 32WFM
- Highest horizon point
- Cusanus E: 21.7° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 168°.
- Farthest visible point
- 8.53 km away at azimuth 268°, 1.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 309 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 13.8° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 214° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 18.2°. At 2026-10-22 13:38:46 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.

- 168° Cusanus E, 3.79 km away, 21.7° high, 1,514 m above the ground here
- 344° Cusanus, 5.69 km away, 13.0° high, 1,325 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.
