Horizon view
Horizon from Nasmyth E
49.9218° S, 57.7904° W · cell 16FDV
- Highest horizon point
- Nasmyth E: 21.3° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 266°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 0°, 13.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 250 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 3.3° under it at azimuth 96°. At 2026-10-22 15:17:06 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
- 266° Nasmyth E, 1.90 km away, 21.3° high, 742 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.
