Marconi S: 16.0° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 104°.
Farthest visible point
8.53 km away at azimuth 308°, 8.6° from the horizontal.
Observer
Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,389 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
Sun at the rendered time
The Sun is below the horizon: 12.9° under it at azimuth 266°. At 2026-10-22 13:31:08 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.
