Horizon view
Horizon from Galois M
15.2128° S, 153.4356° W · cell 4LDB
- Highest horizon point
- Galois M: 25.6° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 108°.
- Farthest visible point
- 14.2 km away at azimuth 278°, 7.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 410 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 69.0° under it at azimuth 219°. At 2026-10-22 13:49:04 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
- 108° Galois M, 2.84 km away, 25.6° high, 1,365 m above the ground here
- 229° Galois Q, 8.53 km away, 13.7° high, 2,108 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.
