Horizon view
Horizon from Riccius K
39.1737° S, 25.6220° E · cell 26HGT
- Highest horizon point
- Riccius K: 6.4° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 32°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 118°, 4.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 40 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 50.7° high at azimuth 18°, 44.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:42:51 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
- 32° Riccius K, 2.84 km away, 6.4° high, 324 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.
