Horizon view
Horizon from Ptolemaeus R
6.6705° S, 1.1701° W · cell 23MDS
- Highest horizon point
- Ptolemaeus R: 17.3° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 265°.
- Farthest visible point
- 45.5 km away at azimuth 90°, 0.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 299 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 51.4° high at azimuth 84°, 50.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:42:38 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
- 265° Ptolemaeus R, 0.95 km away, 17.3° high, 297 m above the ground here
- 128° Unnamed, 21.8 km away, 3.0° high, 1,279 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.
