Horizon view
Horizon from Jaci
85.4200° S, 31.2300° E · cell BCS
- Highest horizon point
- Mons Mouton: 17.1° above the horizontal, 0.56 km away at azimuth 74°.
- Farthest visible point
- 0.96 km away at azimuth 310°, 2.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 6,169 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 5.9° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 10° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 10.5°. At 2026-10-22 10:46:36 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 160 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.

Peaks on the skyline
- 74° Mons Mouton, 0.56 km away, 17.1° high, 175 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.
