Horizon view
Horizon from Piazzi Smyth U
40.8751° N, 2.7719° W · cell 23TCQ
- Highest horizon point
- Piazzi Smyth U: 4.4° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 91°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 0°, 1.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,737 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 35.3° high at azimuth 131°, 32.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 22:06:22 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
- 91° Piazzi Smyth U, 0.95 km away, 4.4° high, 75 m above the ground here
- 241° Piazzi Smyth U, 1.90 km away, 3.5° high, 119 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.
