Horizon view
Horizon from Dalton
17.0655° N, 84.4518° W · cell 12QKL
- Highest horizon point
- Dalton: 7.9° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 350°.
- Farthest visible point
- 42.6 km away at azimuth 141°, 1.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,581 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 34.2° under it at azimuth 80°. At 2026-10-22 11:05:20 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.
