Horizon view
Horizon from Poisson U
31.7182° S, 10.3018° E · cell 24JHM
- Highest horizon point
- Poisson U: 10.3° above the horizontal, 11.4 km away at azimuth 191°.
- Farthest visible point
- 23.7 km away at azimuth 143°, 5.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,625 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 51.6° high at azimuth 43°, 43.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 22:25:32 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.
