Horizon view
Horizon from Flamsteed
4.4906° S, 44.3398° W · cell 17MKV
- Highest horizon point
- Flamsteed: 11.1° above the horizontal, 9.48 km away at azimuth 274°.
- Farthest visible point
- 11.4 km away at azimuth 160°, 8.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,373 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 4.6° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 91° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 10.0°. At 2026-10-22 10:46:35 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.
