Horizon from Floss

84.2800° S, 42.2700° E · cell BET

Highest horizon point
Floss: 28.1° above the horizontal, 3.28 km away at azimuth 144°.
Farthest visible point
4.32 km away at azimuth 324°, 19.8° from the horizontal.
Observer
Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 4,118 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
Sun at the rendered time
The Sun is 7.1° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 359° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 21.6°. At 2026-10-22 10:46:07 UTC, when this page was served.
Resolution
Terrain resolution: about 160 m at this point and about 1.9 km at the farthest samples; nearby foreground relief is smoothed at the coarser tiers, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.

Peaks on the skyline

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.
