Horizon view
Horizon from Grace
14.2082° N, 35.8934° E · cell 27PKH
- Highest horizon point
- Mons Esam: 0.0° above the horizontal, 11.4 km away at azimuth 333°.
- Farthest visible point
- 69.2 km away at azimuth 311°, -0.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 858 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 74.2° high at azimuth 170°, 74.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 15:38:26 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
- 333° Mons Esam, 11.4 km away, 0.0° high, 45 m above the ground here
- 290° Grace, 0.95 km away, -0.0° high, 2 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.
