Horizon view
Horizon from Pitiscus U
49.0483° S, 33.2823° E · cell 27FGL
- Highest horizon point
- Pitiscus U: 15.8° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 243°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 0°, 9.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,404 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 42.3° high at azimuth 3°, 32.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 22:01:45 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
- 243° Pitiscus U, 0.95 km away, 15.8° high, 272 m above the ground here
- 141° Pitiscus U, 0.95 km away, 11.9° high, 203 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.
