Horizon view
Horizon from Ptolemaeus C
10.1083° S, 3.2808° W · cell 23LBN
- Highest horizon point
- Ptolemaeus E: 3.4° above the horizontal, 25.6 km away at azimuth 251°.
- Farthest visible point
- 77.7 km away at azimuth 343°, 0.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 612 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 46.3° high at azimuth 81°, 45.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:30:46 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
- 251° Ptolemaeus E, 25.6 km away, 3.4° high, 1,720 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.
