Horizon view

Horizon from Rimae Zupus

15.4637° S, 53.7608° W · cell 16LHB

Highest horizon point
An unnamed point: 3.8° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 341°.
Farthest visible point
43.6 km away at azimuth 187°, 0.3° from the horizontal.
Observer
Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,506 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
Sun at the rendered time
The Sun is below the horizon: 4.3° under it at azimuth 93°. At 2026-10-22 11:06:42 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.
