Horizon view
Horizon from Rayet
44.6517° N, 114.5036° E · cell 37THQ
- Highest horizon point
- Rayet: 15.7° above the horizontal, 13.3 km away at azimuth 300°.
- Farthest visible point
- 15.2 km away at azimuth 60°, 10.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,561 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 7.8° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 260° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 12.1°. At 2026-10-22 19:24:02 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.
