Horizon view
Horizon from Millikan B
49.7560° N, 123.3788° E · cell 38UHF
- Highest horizon point
- Millikan B: 19.2° above the horizontal, 8.53 km away at azimuth 320°.
- Farthest visible point
- 12.3 km away at azimuth 260°, 9.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,308 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 3.1° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 264° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 9.8°. At 2026-10-22 13:38:59 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
- 320° Millikan B, 8.53 km away, 19.2° high, 3,002 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.
