Horizon view
Horizon from Leeuwenhoek
29.2834° S, 178.8710° W · cell 1JBE
- Highest horizon point
- Leeuwenhoek: 10.8° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 159°.
- Farthest visible point
- 122 km away at azimuth 64°, -0.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 4,137 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 41.7° under it at azimuth 238°. At 2026-10-22 12:43:09 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
- 159° Leeuwenhoek, 1.90 km away, 10.8° high, 363 m above the ground here
- 351° Unnamed, 59.7 km away, 2.6° high, 3,710 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.
