Horizon view
Horizon from Gauss A
36.5383° N, 82.7671° E · cell 33SHQ
- Highest horizon point
- Gauss A: 19.4° above the horizontal, 8.53 km away at azimuth 156°.
- Farthest visible point
- 9.48 km away at azimuth 0°, 16.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,895 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 35.0° high at azimuth 236°, 22.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:31:15 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
- 156° Gauss A, 8.53 km away, 19.4° high, 3,033 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.
