Horizon view
Horizon from Lyell B
14.3568° N, 38.4649° E · cell 28PDT
- Highest horizon point
- Lyell B: 12.7° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 302°.
- Farthest visible point
- 1.90 km away at azimuth 5°, 8.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,570 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 74.0° high at azimuth 191°, 64.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 22:01:48 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.
