Horizon view
Horizon from Kiess
6.4092° S, 84.1108° E · cell 34MAN
- Highest horizon point
- Kästner S: 5.6° above the horizontal, 42.6 km away at azimuth 217°.
- Farthest visible point
- 107 km away at azimuth 155°, 1.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,788 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 46.7° high at azimuth 275°, 46.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:35 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
- 217° Kästner S, 42.6 km away, 5.6° high, 4,730 m above the ground here
- 36° Widmannstätten, 37.9 km away, 0.8° high, 935 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.
