Horizon view
Horizon from Piazzi Smyth Y
42.8455° N, 3.4479° W · cell 23TBS
- Highest horizon point
- Piazzi Smyth Y: 7.4° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 269°.
- Farthest visible point
- 1.90 km away at azimuth 7°, 5.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,853 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 33.2° high at azimuth 130°, 28.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 20:30:39 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.

- 188° Piazzi Smyth Y, 1.90 km away, 6.7° high, 226 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.
