Horizon view
Horizon from Pentland P
67.8528° S, 14.3534° E · cell 25DET
- Highest horizon point
- Simpelius H: 14.3° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 174°.
- Farthest visible point
- 56.9 km away at azimuth 315°, 1.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 293 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 21.2° high at azimuth 27°, 16.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:31:13 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
- 174° Simpelius H, 3.79 km away, 14.3° high, 971 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.
