Horizon view

Horizon from Nöggerath P

47.6943° S, 41.9432° W · cell 18GDN

Highest horizon point
Nöggerath P: 14.8° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 37°.
Farthest visible point
10.4 km away at azimuth 273°, 6.2° from the horizontal.
Observer
Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,242 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
Sun at the rendered time
The Sun is 8.3° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 83° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 13.2°. At 2026-10-22 18:42:41 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.
