Horizon view
Horizon from Laplace D
47.2722° N, 25.5815° W · cell 20TDC
- Highest horizon point
- Promontorium Laplace: 23.9° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 222°.
- Farthest visible point
- 4.74 km away at azimuth 0°, 16.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,782 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 15.4° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 109° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 20.4°. At 2026-10-22 13:30:51 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
- 222° Promontorium Laplace, 4.74 km away, 23.9° high, 2,101 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.
