Horizon view
Horizon from Philolaus F
68.1079° N, 18.3591° W · cell 21WDN
- Highest horizon point
- Philolaus F: 19.3° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 282°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 27°, 13.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,670 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 10.2° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 121° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 15.4°. At 2026-10-22 14:25:39 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.

- 78° Philolaus F, 2.84 km away, 17.2° high, 884 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.
