Horizon view

Horizon from Ranger 7

10.6340° S, 20.6770° W · cell 20LJN

Highest horizon point
An unnamed point: 0.3° above the horizontal, 22.7 km away at azimuth 352°.
Farthest visible point
24.6 km away at azimuth 357°, 0.2° from the horizontal.
Observer
Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,790 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
Sun at the rendered time
The Sun is above the local horizon: 76.6° high at azimuth 44°, 76.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-09-27 05:46:51 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

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.
