Horizon view
Horizon from Pirquet X
17.1292° S, 138.8348° E · cell 40KJV
- Highest horizon point
- Pirquet X: 21.5° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 13°.
- Farthest visible point
- 30.3 km away at azimuth 114°, 8.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 974 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 8.4° under it at azimuth 266°. At 2026-10-22 13:49:11 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.

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.
