Horizon view

Horizon from LADEE

11.8494° N, 93.2494° W · cell 11PJV

Highest horizon point
Sundman V: 7.3° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 260°.
Farthest visible point
118 km away at azimuth 190°, -1.9° from the horizontal.
Observer
Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,664 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
Sun at the rendered time
The Sun is above the local horizon: 7.8° high at azimuth 93°, 10.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-09-27 05:46:34 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

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.
