Horizon view
Horizon from North Ray
8.8151° S, 15.4843° E · cell 25LEK
- Highest horizon point
- Smoky Mountains: 9.8° above the horizontal, 1.42 km away at azimuth 57°.
- Farthest visible point
- 71.1 km away at azimuth 238°, 0.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 25 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 63.4° high at azimuth 75°, 54.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 10:51:33 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 474 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.

Peaks on the skyline
- 57° Smoky Mountains, 1.42 km away, 9.8° high, 249 m above the ground here
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.
