Horizon view
Horizon from Poisson O
35.0493° S, 9.1215° E · cell 24HGH
- Highest horizon point
- Poisson O: 12.6° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 274°.
- Farthest visible point
- 30.3 km away at azimuth 92°, 2.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 530 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 46.8° high at azimuth 45°, 45.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:42:06 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
- 274° Poisson O, 1.90 km away, 12.6° high, 427 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.
