Horizon view
Horizon from Hipparchus P
4.7513° S, 2.7028° E · cell 23MJV
- Highest horizon point
- Hipparchus P: 11.1° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 7°.
- Farthest visible point
- 6.63 km away at azimuth 218°, 3.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 295 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 55.6° high at azimuth 85°, 47.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:05:11 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
- 7° Hipparchus P, 2.84 km away, 11.1° high, 561 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.
