Horizon view
Horizon from Piazzi Smyth Z
42.1477° N, 4.5918° W · cell 22TJM
- Highest horizon point
- Piazzi Smyth Z: 6.6° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 97°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 175°, 2.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,880 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 33.5° high at azimuth 130°, 27.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 22:06:42 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
- 97° Piazzi Smyth Z, 0.95 km away, 6.6° high, 112 m above the ground here
- 255° Piazzi Smyth Z, 0.95 km away, 5.0° high, 85 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.
