Horizon view

Horizon from Plummer W

23.4755° S, 155.9698° W · cell 4KAM

Highest horizon point
An unnamed point: 16.9° above the horizontal, 20.9 km away at azimuth 4°.
Farthest visible point
23.7 km away at azimuth 339°, 12.9° from the horizontal.
Observer
Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,753 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
Sun at the rendered time
The Sun is below the horizon: 62.0° under it at azimuth 209°. At 2026-10-22 18:23:57 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

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.
