Horizon view
Horizon from Philolaus W
75.7226° N, 36.0891° W · cell 18XGB
- Highest horizon point
- Philolaus W: 9.8° above the horizontal, 7.58 km away at azimuth 43°.
- Farthest visible point
- 14.2 km away at azimuth 141°, 3.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,182 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 2.0° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 104° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 6.2°. At 2026-10-22 12:43:08 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
- 43° Philolaus W, 7.58 km away, 9.8° high, 1,322 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.
