Horizon view
Horizon from Encke B
2.3635° N, 36.7842° W · cell 18NJN
- Highest horizon point
- Encke B: 23.6° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 16°.
- Farthest visible point
- 5.69 km away at azimuth 75°, 19.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,038 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 13.3° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 92° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 18.7°. At 2026-10-22 13:31:02 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
- 16° Encke B, 3.79 km away, 23.6° high, 1,662 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.
