Horizon view
Horizon from Pentland DA
62.9327° S, 14.3681° E · cell 25EED
- Highest horizon point
- Pentland DA: 16.2° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 62°.
- Farthest visible point
- 26.5 km away at azimuth 191°, 8.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,717 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 25.3° high at azimuth 30°, 9.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:06:06 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
- 62° Pentland DA, 5.69 km away, 16.2° high, 1,660 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.
