Horizon view
Horizon from Newton B
81.4541° S, 16.7199° W · cell AXX
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 10.9° above the horizontal, 26.8 km away at azimuth 58°.
- Farthest visible point
- 39.2 km away at azimuth 83°, 7.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,903 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 6.0° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 58° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 10.9°. At 2026-10-22 12:24:08 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 160 m at this point and about 1.9 km at the farthest samples; nearby foreground relief is smoothed at the coarser tiers, 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.
