Horizon view

Horizon from Harriot X

35.1701° N, 112.9886° E · cell 37SFC

Highest horizon point
Harriot X: 15.7° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 254°.
Farthest visible point
12.3 km away at azimuth 163°, 12.5° from the horizontal.
Observer
Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,052 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
Sun at the rendered time
The Sun is 12.8° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 259° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 15.6°. At 2026-10-22 13:49:02 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.
