Horizon view
Horizon from Kuiper
9.7750° S, 22.6833° W · cell 20LGP
- Highest horizon point
- Kuiper: 16.6° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 337°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 19°, 13.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,681 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 28.0° high at azimuth 86°, 16.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 14:57:25 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
- 337° Kuiper, 0.95 km away, 16.6° high, 285 m above the ground here
- 54° Kuiper, 2.84 km away, 14.2° high, 721 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.
