Horizon view
Horizon from Love
6.3328° S, 129.1712° E · cell 39MGC
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 5.2° above the horizontal, 41.7 km away at azimuth 223°.
- Farthest visible point
- 48.3 km away at azimuth 303°, 3.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 19 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 2.0° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 269° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 3.8°. At 2026-10-22 11:05:42 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.
