Horizon view
Horizon from Polybius M
21.4022° S, 22.0814° E · cell 26KCV
- Highest horizon point
- Polybius M: 15.7° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 55°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 165°, 6.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 188 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 65.6° high at azimuth 37°, 50.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 20:27:00 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
- 55° Polybius M, 1.90 km away, 15.7° high, 535 m above the ground here
- 342° Polybius M, 0.95 km away, 15.2° high, 259 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.
