Horizon view
Horizon from Planitia Descensus
7.1803° N, 64.1544° W · cell 15NEU
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 3.7° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 263°.
- Farthest visible point
- 29.4 km away at azimuth 58°, -0.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,587 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 14.8° under it at azimuth 90°. At 2026-10-22 11:54:57 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
- 263° Unnamed, 5.69 km away, 3.7° high, 376 m above the ground here
- 141° Unnamed, 0.95 km away, 2.2° high, 39 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.
