Horizon view
Horizon from Dorsum Zirkel
29.5468° N, 24.8187° W · cell 20REA
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 0.8° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 225°.
- Farthest visible point
- 37.9 km away at azimuth 90°, -0.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,691 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 20.8° high at azimuth 104°, 21.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 12:43:16 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
- 225° Unnamed, 0.95 km away, 0.8° high, 14 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.
