Horizon view
Horizon from Faraday K
42.6801° S, 10.3037° E · cell 24GHU
- Highest horizon point
- Faraday K: 13.4° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 337°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 0°, 11.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 160 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 41.6° high at azimuth 39°, 33.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:16:29 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.

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.
