Horizon view
Horizon from LCROSS
84.6780° S, 48.7250° W · cell AVS
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 11.4° above the horizontal, 10.2 km away at azimuth 338°.
- Farthest visible point
- 81.6 km away at azimuth 125°, 2.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,832 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 5.1° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 37° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 8.0°. At 2026-09-27 05:46:44 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 160 m at this point and about 1.9 km at the farthest samples; nearby foreground relief is smoothed at the coarser tiers, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.

Peaks on the skyline
- 338° Unnamed, 10.2 km away, 11.4° high, 2,095 m above the ground here
- 50° Mons Cabeus, 45.2 km away, 10.0° high, 8,613 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.
