Horizon view
Horizon from Pytheas N
22.5718° N, 20.5043° W · cell 20QJN
- Highest horizon point
- Pytheas N: 2.3° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 100°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 0°, 1.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,904 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 28.4° high at azimuth 105°, 26.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:28:23 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.

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.
