Horizon view
Horizon from Epigenes G
68.9704° N, 7.0095° W · cell 22WFD
- Highest horizon point
- Epigenes G: 18.5° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 72°.
- Farthest visible point
- 1.90 km away at azimuth 17°, 14.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,677 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 13.0° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 132° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 16.6°. At 2026-10-22 14:33:32 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
- 72° Epigenes G, 1.90 km away, 18.5° high, 638 m above the ground here
- 286° Epigenes G, 1.90 km away, 14.4° high, 488 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.
