Horizon view

Horizon from Fra Mauro R

2.2664° S, 15.5991° W · cell 21MFH

Highest horizon point
Fra Mauro R: 15.0° above the horizontal, 2.13 km away at azimuth 122°.
Farthest visible point
2.13 km away at azimuth 121°, 14.9° from the horizontal.
Observer
Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 934 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
Sun at the rendered time
The Sun is above the local horizon: 36.6° high at azimuth 90°, 22.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:28:46 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.
