Horizon view
Horizon from Michelson V
7.8393° N, 125.0959° W · cell 7NJK
- Highest horizon point
- Michelson V: 20.3° above the horizontal, 8.53 km away at azimuth 319°.
- Farthest visible point
- 12.3 km away at azimuth 38°, 18.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 436 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 70.9° under it at azimuth 71°. At 2026-10-22 19:24:36 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.

- 138° Michelson V, 8.53 km away, 19.5° high, 3,050 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.
