Horizon view
Horizon from Riedel Z
47.4739° S, 140.1620° W · cell 5GJH
- Highest horizon point
- Riedel Z: 10.1° above the horizontal, 15.2 km away at azimuth 5°.
- Farthest visible point
- 16.1 km away at azimuth 116°, 8.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 5,821 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 41.2° under it at azimuth 179°. At 2026-10-22 14:33:54 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.
