Horizon view
Horizon from Kapteyn Z
11.2059° S, 72.5642° E · cell 32LFM
- Highest horizon point
- Kapteyn Z: 13.7° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 75°.
- Farthest visible point
- 5.69 km away at azimuth 293°, 6.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,384 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 53.2° high at azimuth 283°, 44.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:24:33 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
- 75° Kapteyn Z, 2.84 km away, 13.7° high, 695 m above the ground here
- 253° Kapteyn Z, 2.84 km away, 12.7° high, 646 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.
