Horizon view
Horizon from Protagoras B
56.4306° N, 5.6735° E · cell 24VDU
- Highest horizon point
- Protagoras B: 12.3° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 73°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 0°, 7.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,026 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 26.1° high at azimuth 142°, 18.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 14:33:23 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.

- 73° Protagoras B, 1.90 km away, 12.3° high, 415 m above the ground here
- 270° Protagoras B, 1.90 km away, 10.3° high, 348 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.
