Horizon view
Horizon from Maxwell
29.9048° N, 98.5256° E · cell 35RHB
- Highest horizon point
- Maxwell: 6.6° above the horizontal, 10.4 km away at azimuth 161°.
- Farthest visible point
- 69.2 km away at azimuth 123°, 1.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,848 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 27.0° high at azimuth 251°, 23.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:03 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
- 161° Maxwell, 10.4 km away, 6.6° high, 1,234 m above the ground here
- 313° Unnamed, 53.1 km away, 3.8° high, 4,330 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.
