Horizon view
Horizon from Picard N
10.5244° N, 53.5703° E · cell 30PCC
- Highest horizon point
- Picard N: 13.7° above the horizontal, 11.4 km away at azimuth 167°.
- Farthest visible point
- 78.7 km away at azimuth 30°, -2.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,361 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 69.9° high at azimuth 235°, 63.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:24:15 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
- 167° Picard N, 11.4 km away, 13.7° high, 2,816 m above the ground here
- 327° Unnamed, 18.9 km away, 7.0° high, 2,438 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.
