Horizon view
Horizon from Euclides P
4.5158° S, 27.6907° W · cell 20MAV
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 1.4° above the horizontal, 34.1 km away at azimuth 156°.
- Farthest visible point
- 54.0 km away at azimuth 173°, -0.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,513 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 21.3° high at azimuth 90°, 21.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:06:02 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
- 156° Unnamed, 34.1 km away, 1.4° high, 1,146 m above the ground here
- 221° Euclides P, 33.2 km away, 1.0° high, 902 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.
