Horizon view
Horizon from Rima Jansen
14.4951° N, 29.5115° E · cell 27PCH
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 2.1° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 222°.
- Farthest visible point
- 21.8 km away at azimuth 67°, 0.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,351 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 71.4° high at azimuth 148°, 70.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 14:25:21 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.
