Horizon view
Horizon from Polybius B
25.5567° S, 25.5113° E · cell 26JGQ
- Highest horizon point
- Polybius B: 23.8° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 342°.
- Farthest visible point
- 5.69 km away at azimuth 31°, 22.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,349 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 64.1° high at azimuth 22°, 40.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 22:49:03 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.
