Horizon view
Horizon from Plato X
50.2017° N, 13.8198° W · cell 21UGL
- Highest horizon point
- Plato X: 10.6° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 96°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 18°, 7.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,160 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 21.2° high at azimuth 120°, 11.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:31:14 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.

- 243° Plato X, 1.90 km away, 10.2° high, 342 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.
