Horizon view
Horizon from Galilaei M
13.2759° N, 56.9297° W · cell 16PDS
- Highest horizon point
- Galilaei M: 6.0° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 2°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 42°, 5.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,757 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 5.1° under it at azimuth 90°. At 2026-10-22 17:08:46 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
- 2° Galilaei M, 1.90 km away, 6.0° high, 201 m above the ground here
- 196° Galilaei M, 0.95 km away, 5.5° high, 93 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.
