Horizon view
Horizon from Hess-Apollo
20.0931° N, 30.7454° E · cell 27QDQ
- Highest horizon point
- South Massif: 14.7° above the horizontal, 8.77 km away at azimuth 241°.
- Farthest visible point
- 36.7 km away at azimuth 111°, 1.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,648 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 67.2° high at azimuth 159°, 62.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 15:38:27 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 474 m at this point and about 1.9 km at the farthest samples; nearby foreground relief is smoothed at the coarser tiers, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.

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.
