Licetus K: 9.2° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 266°.
Farthest visible point
3.79 km away at azimuth 0°, 3.8° from the horizontal.
Observer
Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,031 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
Sun at the rendered time
The Sun is above the local horizon: 35.0° high at azimuth 48°, 29.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:36:15 UTC, when this page was served.

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.
