Horizon view
Horizon from Poncelet R
79.3314° N, 58.0919° W · cell 16XES
- Highest horizon point
- Poncelet R: 11.6° above the horizontal, 4.56 km away at azimuth 258°.
- Farthest visible point
- 17.9 km away at azimuth 136°, 2.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 905 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 2.5° under it at azimuth 84°. At 2026-10-22 17:09:02 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 160 m at this point and about 1.9 km at the farthest samples; nearby foreground relief is smoothed at the coarser tiers, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.

Peaks on the skyline
- 258° Poncelet R, 4.56 km away, 11.6° high, 945 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.
