Horizon view
Horizon from Gauss D
39.3672° N, 73.8877° E · cell 32SGN
- Highest horizon point
- Gauss D: 15.2° above the horizontal, 10.4 km away at azimuth 327°.
- Farthest visible point
- 13.3 km away at azimuth 258°, 10.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,063 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 36.6° high at azimuth 230°, 25.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 20:43:12 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.
