Horizon view
Horizon from Gay-Lussac B
16.2076° N, 21.1805° W · cell 20QJE
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 3.7° above the horizontal, 19.9 km away at azimuth 162°.
- Farthest visible point
- 22.7 km away at azimuth 155°, 3.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,667 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 28.8° high at azimuth 101°, 27.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:42:24 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.
