Horizon view

Horizon from Kepler C

10.0084° N, 41.8636° W · cell 18PCC

Highest horizon point
Kepler C: 18.3° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 152°.
Farthest visible point
5.69 km away at azimuth 3°, 16.2° from the horizontal.
Observer
Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,748 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
Sun at the rendered time
The Sun is 13.3° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 94° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 17.3°. At 2026-10-23 00:17:14 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

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.
