Horizon view
Horizon from Rima Billy
14.7407° S, 48.0407° W · cell 17LEH
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 8.1° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 146°.
- Farthest visible point
- 49.3 km away at azimuth 279°, -0.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,777 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 1.2° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 91° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 6.2°. At 2026-10-22 11:06:09 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
- 146° Unnamed, 3.79 km away, 8.1° high, 542 m above the ground here
- 302° Unnamed, 34.1 km away, 1.8° high, 1,414 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.
