Horizon view
Horizon from Dorsum Nicol
18.3217° N, 22.6624° E · cell 26QDH
- Highest horizon point
- Promontorium Archerusia: 0.9° above the horizontal, 50.2 km away at azimuth 202°.
- Farthest visible point
- 95.7 km away at azimuth 219°, -0.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,589 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 64.2° high at azimuth 138°, 63.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:49:09 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.
