Horizon view

Horizon from Danjon

11.4209° S, 123.9033° E · cell 38LKM

Highest horizon point
Danjon: 8.6° above the horizontal, 33.2 km away at azimuth 264°.
Farthest visible point
60.6 km away at azimuth 38°, 3.6° from the horizontal.
Observer
Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 926 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
Sun at the rendered time
The Sun is 7.3° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 270° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 8.3°. At 2026-10-22 11:05:03 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.

Peaks on the skyline

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.
