Horizon view
Horizon from Kircher
67.0075° S, 45.4818° W · cell 17DGD
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 8.5° above the horizontal, 36.0 km away at azimuth 296°.
- Farthest visible point
- 38.9 km away at azimuth 149°, 4.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,302 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 2.6° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 87° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 5.0°. At 2026-10-22 11:05:19 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.
