Horizon view
Horizon from Ptolemaeus G
7.1474° S, 0.0230° E · cell 23MFS
- Highest horizon point
- Ptolemaeus G: 14.7° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 215°.
- Farthest visible point
- 4.74 km away at azimuth 56°, 9.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 596 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 53.0° high at azimuth 83°, 41.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:43:16 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.

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.
