Horizon view
Horizon from Knox-Shaw
5.3567° N, 80.1936° E · cell 33NFS
- Highest horizon point
- Banachiewicz: 22.0° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 157°.
- Farthest visible point
- 6.63 km away at azimuth 70°, 17.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 4,635 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 49.1° high at azimuth 262°, 33.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:31:04 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
- 157° Banachiewicz, 6.63 km away, 22.0° high, 2,691 m above the ground here
- 22° Banachiewicz, 5.69 km away, 18.8° high, 1,941 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.
