Horizon view
Horizon from Polybius C
22.0819° S, 23.4888° E · cell 26KEU
- Highest horizon point
- Polybius C: 12.7° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 12°.
- Farthest visible point
- 73.9 km away at azimuth 221°, 0.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 845 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 64.7° high at azimuth 37°, 55.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:14:43 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
- 12° Polybius C, 5.69 km away, 12.7° high, 1,299 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.
