Horizon view
Horizon from Philolaus C
71.2260° N, 32.8212° W · cell 19WEG
- Highest horizon point
- Philolaus C: 31.4° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 187°.
- Farthest visible point
- 66.3 km away at azimuth 0°, 1.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,729 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 4.0° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 106° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 7.2°. At 2026-10-22 11:54:57 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
- 187° Philolaus C, 1.90 km away, 31.4° high, 1,161 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.
