Horizon view
Horizon from Minkowski S
56.1992° S, 146.0786° W · cell 5EDS
- Highest horizon point
- Minkowski: 22.4° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 236°.
- Farthest visible point
- 6.63 km away at azimuth 38°, 18.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 8,624 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 32.3° under it at azimuth 185°. At 2026-10-22 16:42:17 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
- 236° Minkowski, 6.63 km away, 22.4° high, 2,741 m above the ground here
- 132° Minkowski, 6.63 km away, 19.9° high, 2,413 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.
