Horizon view
Horizon from Petermann S
75.2945° N, 62.0357° E · cell 31XEM
- Highest horizon point
- Petermann S: 24.4° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 107°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 0°, 14.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,111 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 12.2° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 203° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 16.2°. At 2026-10-22 13:30:17 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
- 107° Petermann S, 3.79 km away, 24.4° high, 1,724 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.
