Horizon view
Horizon from Ritchey J
12.4116° S, 9.8808° E · cell 24LHQ
- Highest horizon point
- Ritchey J: 10.2° above the horizontal, 8.53 km away at azimuth 107°.
- Farthest visible point
- 28.4 km away at azimuth 2°, 2.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 553 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 61.4° high at azimuth 69°, 51.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 20:03:18 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
- 107° Ritchey J, 8.53 km away, 10.2° high, 1,560 m above the ground here
- 271° Ritchey J, 6.63 km away, 9.4° high, 1,119 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.
