Horizon view
Horizon from Rimae Ramsden
32.9279° S, 31.3218° W · cell 19HFA
- Highest horizon point
- Ramsden: 13.8° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 257°.
- Farthest visible point
- 109 km away at azimuth 123°, -0.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 847 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 15.5° high at azimuth 81°, 16.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:06:05 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
- 257° Ramsden, 0.95 km away, 13.8° high, 235 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.
