Horizon view
Horizon from Democritus D
62.9452° N, 31.2311° E · cell 27VEG
- Highest horizon point
- Democritus D: 17.2° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 26°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 136°, 13.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,325 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 25.5° high at azimuth 173°, 14.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:08:47 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
- 26° Democritus D, 2.84 km away, 17.2° high, 884 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.
