Horizon view
Horizon from Rimae Maupertuis
51.2372° N, 22.8210° W · cell 20UFH
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 5.3° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 44°.
- Farthest visible point
- 103 km away at azimuth 149°, -1.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,368 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 14.9° high at azimuth 112°, 12.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:06:43 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
- 44° Unnamed, 0.95 km away, 5.3° high, 90 m above the ground here
- 237° Maupertuis A, 45.5 km away, 0.6° high, 1,104 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.
