Horizon view
Horizon from Lyot R
46.1719° S, 87.3402° E · cell 34GEE
- Highest horizon point
- Lyot R: 7.4° above the horizontal, 17.1 km away at azimuth 139°.
- Farthest visible point
- 23.7 km away at azimuth 256°, 1.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 443 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 29.0° high at azimuth 303°, 27.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:31:10 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.
