Horizon view

Horizon from Phocylides F

54.7457° S, 57.5808° W · cell 16FDP

Highest horizon point
Phocylides E: 12.1° above the horizontal, 11.4 km away at azimuth 158°.
Farthest visible point
14.2 km away at azimuth 81°, 9.2° from the horizontal.
Observer
Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,484 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
Sun at the rendered time
The Sun is below the horizon: 2.3° under it at azimuth 96°. At 2026-10-22 16:17:17 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

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.
