Horizon view
Horizon from Dirichlet
10.5800° N, 152.0520° W · cell 4PEN
- Highest horizon point
- Dirichlet: 12.5° above the horizontal, 21.8 km away at azimuth 127°.
- Farthest visible point
- 23.7 km away at azimuth 4°, 9.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,296 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 75.7° under it at azimuth 310°. At 2026-10-22 15:16:42 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.

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.
