Horizon view
Horizon from Riedel Q
49.9628° S, 142.2105° W · cell 5FGE
- Highest horizon point
- Riedel Q: 15.7° above the horizontal, 10.4 km away at azimuth 290°.
- Farthest visible point
- 14.2 km away at azimuth 18°, 12.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 6,388 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 38.7° under it at azimuth 182°. At 2026-10-22 14:33:38 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.

- 119° Riedel Q, 12.3 km away, 13.7° high, 3,051 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.
