Horizon view

Horizon from Necho

5.2483° S, 123.2445° E · cell 38MJU

Highest horizon point
Necho: 12.3° above the horizontal, 13.3 km away at azimuth 310°.
Farthest visible point
18.9 km away at azimuth 107°, 5.4° from the horizontal.
Observer
Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,317 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
Sun at the rendered time
The Sun is 5.3° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 269° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 9.8°. At 2026-10-22 16:15:44 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

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.
