Horizon view
Horizon from Promontorium Laplace
46.8449° N, 25.5077° W · cell 20TDB
- Highest horizon point
- Promontorium Laplace: 13.1° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 243°.
- Farthest visible point
- 117 km away at azimuth 67°, -1.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,840 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 15.3° high at azimuth 109°, 16.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 12:43:16 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
- 243° Promontorium Laplace, 0.95 km away, 13.1° high, 222 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.
