Horizon view
Horizon from Pontanus
28.4223° S, 14.3562° E · cell 25JDF
- Highest horizon point
- Pontanus: 14.2° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 7°.
- Farthest visible point
- 35.1 km away at azimuth 162°, 3.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 569 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 52.8° high at azimuth 48°, 42.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:17 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.

- 205° Pontanus, 24.6 km away, 5.2° high, 2,410 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.
