Horizon view
Horizon from Eratosthenes
14.4737° N, 11.3162° W · cell 22PBT
- Highest horizon point
- Eratosthenes: 10.3° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 249°.
- Farthest visible point
- 31.3 km away at azimuth 112°, 3.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,671 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 36.2° high at azimuth 103°, 32.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:54:58 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
- 249° Eratosthenes, 2.84 km away, 10.3° high, 523 m above the ground here
- 49° Eratosthenes, 3.79 km away, 6.8° high, 461 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.
