Horizon view
Horizon from Kästner A
4.4977° S, 77.2715° E · cell 33MBE
- Highest horizon point
- Kästner A: 14.5° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 137°.
- Farthest visible point
- 14.2 km away at azimuth 178°, 11.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,141 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 50.2° high at azimuth 273°, 44.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:57:53 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
- 137° Kästner A, 6.63 km away, 14.5° high, 1,735 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.
