Horizon view

Horizon from Rima Krieger

29.2938° N, 46.2626° W · cell 17RGA

Highest horizon point
Krieger: 5.5° above the horizontal, 9.48 km away at azimuth 92°.
Farthest visible point
29.4 km away at azimuth 132°, 1.6° from the horizontal.
Observer
Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,090 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
Sun at the rendered time
The Sun is 2.9° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 93° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 5.4°. At 2026-10-22 13:45:10 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

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.
