Horizon view
Horizon from Purkyně K
2.6602° S, 95.3348° E · cell 35MEB
- Highest horizon point
- Purkyně K: 16.1° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 225°.
- Farthest visible point
- 11.4 km away at azimuth 31°, 5.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 634 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 34.3° high at azimuth 270°, 22.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:49:10 UTC, when this page was served.

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.
