Horizon view
Horizon from Galilaei S
15.4619° N, 64.7711° W · cell 15PEJ
- Highest horizon point
- Galilaei S: 5.0° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 129°.
- Farthest visible point
- 1.90 km away at azimuth 0°, 3.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,198 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 13.9° under it at azimuth 88°. At 2026-10-22 14:33:39 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.

- 268° Galilaei S, 1.90 km away, 3.7° high, 125 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.
