Horizon view
Horizon from Encke Y
5.8619° N, 36.4511° W · cell 18NKT
- Highest horizon point
- Encke Y: 2.5° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 215°.
- Farthest visible point
- 51.2 km away at azimuth 71°, -0.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 908 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 14.9° high at azimuth 93°, 15.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:17:06 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
- 215° Encke Y, 0.95 km away, 2.5° high, 44 m above the ground here
- 22° Unnamed, 7.58 km away, 0.4° high, 76 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.
