Hermite: 8.3° above the horizontal, 0.40 km away at azimuth 139°.
Farthest visible point
0.88 km away at azimuth 50°, 4.4° from the horizontal.
Observer
Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,317 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
Sun at the rendered time
The Sun is below the horizon: 4.0° under it at azimuth 46°. At 2026-10-22 11:05:33 UTC, when this page was served.

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.
