Horizon view
Horizon from Moretus C
72.6213° S, 11.6315° W · cell 22CDM
- Highest horizon point
- Moretus C: 14.1° above the horizontal, 8.53 km away at azimuth 72°.
- Farthest visible point
- 38.9 km away at azimuth 204°, 5.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,172 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 12.0° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 53° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 13.4°. At 2026-10-22 13:30:16 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
- 72° Moretus C, 8.53 km away, 14.1° high, 2,173 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.
