Horizon view
Horizon from Flamsteed U
3.6122° S, 50.3140° W · cell 17MCA
- Highest horizon point
- Flamsteed U: 7.3° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 198°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 0°, 5.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,115 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 3.1° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 91° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 4.8°. At 2026-10-22 19:42:54 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
- 198° Flamsteed U, 0.95 km away, 7.3° high, 123 m above the ground here
- 342° Flamsteed U, 2.84 km away, 5.8° high, 293 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.
