Horizon view
Horizon from Phocylides K
52.2751° S, 49.0458° W · cell 17FEB
- Highest horizon point
- Phocylides K: 19.3° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 275°.
- Farthest visible point
- 7.58 km away at azimuth 104°, 17.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,077 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 3.5° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 88° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 18.5°. At 2026-10-22 19:05:10 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
- 275° Phocylides K, 1.90 km away, 19.3° high, 666 m above the ground here
- 48° Phocylides K, 6.63 km away, 19.2° high, 2,329 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.
