Horizon view
Horizon from Faraday C
43.3247° S, 8.0426° E · cell 24GFT
- Highest horizon point
- Stöfler P: 15.3° above the horizontal, 14.2 km away at azimuth 193°.
- Farthest visible point
- 15.2 km away at azimuth 11°, 5.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,630 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 39.8° high at azimuth 42°, 32.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 15:16:50 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
- 193° Stöfler P, 14.2 km away, 15.3° high, 3,937 m above the ground here
- 140° Faraday C, 13.3 km away, 15.2° high, 3,656 m above the ground here
- 42° Faraday C, 3.79 km away, 7.2° high, 483 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.
