Horizon view
Horizon from De Sitter U
77.7282° N, 46.0472° E · cell 29XEV
- Highest horizon point
- De Sitter U: 15.2° above the horizontal, 0.20 km away at azimuth 240°.
- Farthest visible point
- 20.2 km away at azimuth 64°, 2.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,188 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 10.8° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 189° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 12.6°. At 2026-10-22 17:58:01 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 400 m at this point and about 1.9 km at the farthest samples; nearby foreground relief is smoothed at the coarser tiers, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.

Peaks on the skyline
- 240° De Sitter U, 0.20 km away, 15.2° high, 56 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.
