Horizon view

Horizon from Fra Mauro P

5.4429° S, 16.5426° W · cell 21MED

Highest horizon point
Fra Mauro P: 17.4° above the horizontal, 0.24 km away at azimuth 285°.
Farthest visible point
1.66 km away at azimuth 56°, 13.5° from the horizontal.
Observer
Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,957 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
Sun at the rendered time
The Sun is above the local horizon: 33.8° high at azimuth 88°, 21.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:49:09 UTC, when this page was served.
Resolution
Terrain resolution: about 474 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.
