Horizon view
Horizon from Polybius R
25.6267° S, 27.3112° E · cell 26JJP
- Highest horizon point
- Polybius R: 12.9° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 4°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 37°, 12.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 392 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 64.6° high at azimuth 18°, 52.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 22:46:17 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
- 4° Polybius R, 2.84 km away, 12.9° high, 658 m above the ground here
- 243° Polybius R, 2.84 km away, 11.9° high, 603 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.
