Horizon view
Horizon from Poisson P
31.9270° S, 8.8255° E · cell 24JFM
- Highest horizon point
- Poisson P: 14.9° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 47°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 0°, 12.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 907 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 49.4° high at azimuth 47°, 34.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:42:33 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
- 47° Poisson P, 2.84 km away, 14.9° high, 758 m above the ground here
- 333° Poisson P, 2.84 km away, 13.1° high, 664 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.
