Horizon view
Horizon from Kirch
39.2652° N, 5.6222° W · cell 22SHH
- Highest horizon point
- Kirch: 16.3° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 204°.
- Farthest visible point
- 5.69 km away at azimuth 0°, 13.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,869 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 34.0° high at azimuth 126°, 19.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 20:06:11 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.

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.
