Horizon view
Horizon from Mare Smythii
1.7088° S, 87.0495° E · cell 34MDT
- Highest horizon point
- Runge: 5.9° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 220°.
- Farthest visible point
- 11.4 km away at azimuth 35°, -0.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,604 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 44.0° high at azimuth 270°, 42.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:06:13 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
- 220° Runge, 2.84 km away, 5.9° high, 296 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.
