Horizon view
Horizon from Rima Ariadaeus
6.4752° N, 13.4381° E · cell 25NBH
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 7.8° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 53°.
- Farthest visible point
- 31.3 km away at azimuth 289°, 1.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,002 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 61.8° high at azimuth 105°, 57.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:55:02 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.

Peaks on the skyline
- 53° Unnamed, 2.84 km away, 7.8° high, 396 m above the ground here
- 206° Unnamed, 1.90 km away, 6.6° high, 222 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.
