Horizon view
Horizon from Pontanus X
28.4615° S, 15.6947° E · cell 25JEF
- Highest horizon point
- Pontanus X: 15.5° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 215°.
- Farthest visible point
- 21.8 km away at azimuth 161°, 4.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 632 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 54.4° high at azimuth 45°, 42.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:30:45 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.

- 215° Pontanus X, 4.74 km away, 15.5° high, 1,325 m above the ground here
- 57° Pontanus X, 4.74 km away, 12.9° high, 1,091 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.
