Horizon view
Horizon from Gibbs
18.3659° S, 84.2675° E · cell 34KAT
- Highest horizon point
- Gibbs: 9.4° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 70°.
- Farthest visible point
- 42.6 km away at azimuth 218°, 3.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,798 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 44.3° high at azimuth 287°, 39.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:48 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
- 70° Gibbs, 0.95 km away, 9.4° high, 160 m above the ground here
- 280° Unnamed, 37.9 km away, 5.0° high, 3,713 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.
