Horizon view
Horizon from Rimae Maestlin
2.8802° N, 40.4828° W · cell 18NEP
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 5.4° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 301°.
- Farthest visible point
- 28.4 km away at azimuth 76°, -0.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,014 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 8.4° high at azimuth 92°, 7.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:06:31 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
- 301° Unnamed, 1.90 km away, 5.4° high, 183 m above the ground here
- 85° Unnamed, 26.5 km away, 1.8° high, 1,019 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.
