Horizon view
Horizon from Phocylides Z
50.0731° S, 50.9193° W · cell 17FCE
- Highest horizon point
- Phocylides Z: 21.6° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 78°.
- Farthest visible point
- 4.74 km away at azimuth 131°, 14.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,696 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 2.3° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 89° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 21.1°. At 2026-10-22 18:42:42 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
- 78° Phocylides Z, 3.79 km away, 21.6° high, 1,505 m above the ground here
- 244° Phocylides Z, 3.79 km away, 20.3° high, 1,408 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.
