Horizon view
Horizon from Phocylides B
53.7913° S, 51.8774° W · cell 17FCV
- Highest horizon point
- Phocylides B: 20.0° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 157°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 48°, 17.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,481 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 1.9° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 90° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 14.8°. At 2026-10-22 19:24:20 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.

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.
