Horizon view
Horizon from Poisson T
31.0798° S, 9.1978° E · cell 24JGN
- Highest horizon point
- Poisson T: 7.4° above the horizontal, 11.4 km away at azimuth 210°.
- Farthest visible point
- 50.2 km away at azimuth 122°, 1.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,434 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 50.9° high at azimuth 46°, 49.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 21:00:40 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.
