Horizon view
Horizon from Jacobi U
55.1014° S, 13.1708° E · cell 25FDP
- Highest horizon point
- Jacobi U: 7.5° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 101°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 0°, 4.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,575 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 32.7° high at azimuth 29°, 28.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:57:13 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
- 101° Jacobi U, 2.84 km away, 7.5° high, 380 m above the ground here
- 12° Jacobi U, 3.79 km away, 4.8° high, 326 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.
