Horizon view
Horizon from Faraday A
41.5433° S, 9.6498° E · cell 24GGV
- Highest horizon point
- Faraday A: 13.6° above the horizontal, 9.48 km away at azimuth 66°.
- Farthest visible point
- 15.2 km away at azimuth 138°, 9.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,700 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 42.8° high at azimuth 39°, 30.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:42:24 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
- 66° Faraday A, 9.48 km away, 13.6° high, 2,318 m above the ground here
- 296° Faraday A, 9.48 km away, 13.1° high, 2,227 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.
