Horizon view
Horizon from Poincaré
56.8623° S, 163.9945° E · cell 43EHM
- Highest horizon point
- Poincaré: 2.7° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 141°.
- Farthest visible point
- 43.6 km away at azimuth 82°, 0.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 4,958 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 16.7° under it at azimuth 240°. At 2026-10-22 13:31:21 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
- 141° Poincaré, 0.95 km away, 2.7° high, 46 m above the ground here
- 244° Poincaré, 19.9 km away, 0.1° high, 135 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.
