Horizon view
Horizon from Fourier R
34.2457° S, 51.3766° W · cell 17HBD
- Highest horizon point
- Fourier R: 17.2° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 163°.
- Farthest visible point
- 42.6 km away at azimuth 353°, 1.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 25 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 2.0° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 90° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 12.6°. At 2026-10-22 18:42:36 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
- 163° Fourier R, 2.84 km away, 17.2° high, 886 m above the ground here
- 275° Fourier R, 3.79 km away, 9.6° high, 649 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.
