Horizon view
Horizon from Ptolemaeus Y
9.3662° S, 0.7038° E · cell 23LFP
- Highest horizon point
- Ptolemaeus Y: 16.2° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 55°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 0°, 10.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 418 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 51.3° high at azimuth 80°, 36.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 15:38:45 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
- 55° Ptolemaeus Y, 2.84 km away, 16.2° high, 831 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.
