Horizon view

Horizon from Guyot K

8.3364° N, 118.7375° E · cell 38PDR

Highest horizon point
Guyot K: 19.2° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 29°.
Farthest visible point
125 km away at azimuth 170°, -0.7° from the horizontal.
Observer
Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 27 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
Sun at the rendered time
The Sun is 8.2° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 267° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 11.0°. At 2026-10-22 18:35:16 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

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.
