Horizon view
Horizon from Mare Tranquillitatis
8.3487° N, 30.8346° E · cell 27PDA
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 1.0° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 214°.
- Farthest visible point
- 29.4 km away at azimuth 45°, 0.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 966 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 75.9° high at azimuth 133°, 75.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 10:58:59 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
- 214° Unnamed, 4.74 km away, 1.0° high, 94 m above the ground here
- 66° Sinas, 22.7 km away, 0.7° high, 426 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.
