Horizon view
Horizon from Pytheas W
21.7081° N, 23.7143° W · cell 20QFM
- Highest horizon point
- Pytheas W: 5.9° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 276°.
- Farthest visible point
- 1.90 km away at azimuth 0°, 3.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,774 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 27.5° high at azimuth 104°, 21.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 21:22:14 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
- 276° Pytheas W, 1.90 km away, 5.9° high, 199 m above the ground here
- 118° Pytheas W, 0.95 km away, 5.7° high, 96 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.
