Horizon view
Horizon from Poisson A
29.7249° S, 9.1448° E · cell 24JGP
- Highest horizon point
- Poisson A: 12.5° above the horizontal, 7.58 km away at azimuth 66°.
- Farthest visible point
- 9.48 km away at azimuth 115°, 9.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,433 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 51.7° high at azimuth 47°, 40.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 20:27:09 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
- 66° Poisson A, 7.58 km away, 12.5° high, 1,701 m above the ground here
- 248° Poisson A, 8.53 km away, 10.3° high, 1,578 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.
