Horizon view
Horizon from Kosberg
20.1868° S, 149.6124° E · cell 42KCF
- Highest horizon point
- Gagarin: 9.8° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 84°.
- Farthest visible point
- 8.53 km away at azimuth 0°, 6.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 493 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 19.3° under it at azimuth 261°. At 2026-10-22 16:14:45 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.
