Horizon view
Horizon from Liebig
24.3541° S, 48.2990° W · cell 17JER
- Highest horizon point
- Liebig: 7.6° above the horizontal, 18.0 km away at azimuth 15°.
- Farthest visible point
- 21.8 km away at azimuth 83°, 7.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,082 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 4.7° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 89° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 7.5°. At 2026-10-22 18:49:29 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.

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.
