Horizon view
Horizon from Mons Huygens
19.9188° N, 2.8571° W · cell 23QBK
- Highest horizon point
- Mons Huygens: 18.2° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 126°.
- Farthest visible point
- 158 km away at azimuth 341°, -3.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,131 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 45.8° high at azimuth 114°, 27.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:43:43 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
- 126° Mons Huygens, 0.95 km away, 18.2° high, 315 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.
