Horizon view
Horizon from Nasmyth F
50.0298° S, 53.7019° W · cell 16FGV
- Highest horizon point
- Nasmyth F: 20.6° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 305°.
- Farthest visible point
- 5.69 km away at azimuth 0°, 12.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 584 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 0.1° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 92° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 17.0°. At 2026-10-22 17:28:47 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.

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.
