Horizon view
Horizon from Ptolemaeus D
8.2855° S, 2.5986° W · cell 23LBQ
- Highest horizon point
- Ptolemaeus D: 11.7° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 244°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 5°, 3.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 879 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 48.6° high at azimuth 83°, 40.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:16:33 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
- 244° Ptolemaeus D, 0.95 km away, 11.7° high, 198 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.
