Horizon view

Horizon from Nöggerath A

47.9147° S, 43.5199° W · cell 18GCM

Highest horizon point
Nöggerath A: 21.6° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 41°.
Farthest visible point
3.79 km away at azimuth 146°, 10.6° from the horizontal.
Observer
Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 808 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
Sun at the rendered time
The Sun is 6.2° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 85° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 17.6°. At 2026-10-22 15:38:43 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.
