Horizon view
Horizon from Pytheas H
20.5033° N, 16.5307° W · cell 21QEQ
- Highest horizon point
- Pytheas H: 2.8° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 80°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 0°, 2.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,759 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 107°, 31.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 21:21:52 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
- 80° Pytheas H, 0.95 km away, 2.8° high, 49 m above the ground here
- 251° Pytheas H, 1.90 km away, 1.7° high, 60 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.
