Horizon view
Horizon from Poisson W
29.6377° S, 11.9807° E · cell 24JKQ
- Highest horizon point
- Poisson W: 3.6° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 315°.
- Farthest visible point
- 32.2 km away at azimuth 105°, 0.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 413 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 53.3° high at azimuth 44°, 50.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:52:53 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
- 315° Poisson W, 1.90 km away, 3.6° high, 122 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.
