Horizon view
Horizon from Pontanus Z
27.8777° S, 12.8105° E · cell 25JBG
- Highest horizon point
- Pontanus Z: 16.0° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 1°.
- Farthest visible point
- 63.5 km away at azimuth 175°, -1.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 933 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 54.2° high at azimuth 47°, 41.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:08:55 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
- 1° Pontanus Z, 0.95 km away, 16.0° high, 275 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.
