Horizon view
Horizon from Purbach U
26.9853° S, 2.0496° W · cell 23JCN
- Highest horizon point
- Purbach U: 17.8° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 211°.
- Farthest visible point
- 96.7 km away at azimuth 25°, -0.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,302 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 42.4° high at azimuth 65°, 41.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:30:43 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
- 211° Purbach U, 5.69 km away, 17.8° high, 1,838 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.
