Horizon view
Horizon from Pythagoras
63.6814° N, 62.9759° W · cell 15VFH
- Highest horizon point
- Pythagoras: 24.0° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 179°.
- Farthest visible point
- 67.3 km away at azimuth 66°, 2.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,817 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 7.4° under it at azimuth 78°. At 2026-10-22 11:05:32 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.

- 265° Pythagoras, 8.53 km away, 11.2° high, 1,705 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.
