Horizon view
Horizon from Galois S
14.3394° S, 155.1454° W · cell 4LBC
- Highest horizon point
- Galois Q: 11.5° above the horizontal, 9.48 km away at azimuth 347°.
- Farthest visible point
- 9.48 km away at azimuth 107°, 9.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 585 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 68.5° under it at azimuth 224°. At 2026-10-22 13:49:07 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.

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.
