Horizon view
Horizon from Richardson E
32.0058° N, 103.6089° E · cell 36SEJ
- Highest horizon point
- Richardson E: 16.5° above the horizontal, 10.4 km away at azimuth 191°.
- Farthest visible point
- 12.3 km away at azimuth 249°, 13.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,218 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 20.5° high at azimuth 255°, 7.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 15:16:36 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
- 191° Richardson E, 10.4 km away, 16.5° high, 3,121 m above the ground here
- 350° Richardson E, 10.4 km away, 12.0° high, 2,257 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.
