Horizon view
Horizon from Phocylides D
53.2026° S, 51.7788° W · cell 17FCA
- Highest horizon point
- Phocylides D: 19.3° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 276°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 99°, 15.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,308 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 1.7° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 90° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 16.8°. At 2026-10-22 18:36:15 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
- 276° Phocylides D, 2.84 km away, 19.3° high, 999 m above the ground here
- 69° Phocylides D, 2.84 km away, 17.8° high, 915 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.
