Horizon view
Horizon from Mare Australe
47.7705° S, 91.9854° E · cell 34GJC
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 6.1° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 102°.
- Farthest visible point
- 85.3 km away at azimuth 291°, -0.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 819 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 26.2° high at azimuth 300°, 26.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:06:03 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.

Peaks on the skyline
- 102° Unnamed, 0.95 km away, 6.1° high, 103 m above the ground here
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.
