Horizon view
Horizon from Descartes C
11.0182° S, 16.3036° E · cell 25LFG
- Highest horizon point
- Descartes C: 26.7° above the horizontal, 1.42 km away at azimuth 254°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.37 km away at azimuth 101°, 15.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 11 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 66.0° high at azimuth 68°, 49.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:17:14 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 474 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
- 254° Descartes C, 1.42 km away, 26.7° high, 718 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.
