Horizon view

Horizon from Danjon M

13.9100° S, 124.0896° E · cell 39LAP

Highest horizon point
Danjon M: 22.2° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 254°.
Farthest visible point
5.69 km away at azimuth 0°, 13.1° from the horizontal.
Observer
Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 593 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
Sun at the rendered time
The Sun is 4.5° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 270° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 21.6°. At 2026-10-22 16:16:28 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.
