Horizon view
Horizon from Laplace M
52.2170° N, 19.9284° W · cell 21UCP
- Highest horizon point
- Laplace M: 14.2° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 260°.
- Farthest visible point
- 7.58 km away at azimuth 0°, 4.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,716 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 18.2° high at azimuth 118°, 8.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:24:18 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
- 260° Laplace M, 1.90 km away, 14.2° high, 484 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.
