Horizon view
Horizon from Gregory
1.7586° N, 127.2797° E · cell 39NEN
- Highest horizon point
- Gregory: 12.6° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 181°.
- Farthest visible point
- 37.0 km away at azimuth 51°, 4.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 810 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 3.7° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 269° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 4.2°. At 2026-10-22 11:05:05 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
- 181° Gregory, 0.95 km away, 12.6° high, 214 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.
