Horizon view
Horizon from Gauss J
40.5747° N, 72.6515° E · cell 32TFQ
- Highest horizon point
- Gauss J: 22.4° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 341°.
- Farthest visible point
- 7.58 km away at azimuth 32°, 21.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,009 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 36.8° high at azimuth 227°, 17.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:43:32 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
- 341° Gauss J, 6.63 km away, 22.4° high, 2,743 m above the ground here
- 203° Gauss J, 7.58 km away, 20.1° high, 2,794 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.
