Horizon view
Horizon from Poisson M
33.9583° S, 7.6169° E · cell 24HEJ
- Highest horizon point
- Poisson M: 15.7° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 278°.
- Farthest visible point
- 10.4 km away at azimuth 88°, 4.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,045 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 47.3° high at azimuth 47°, 36.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:54:49 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.

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.
