Horizon view
Horizon from Ritchey M
12.3947° S, 9.4746° E · cell 24LGQ
- Highest horizon point
- Ritchey M: 12.3° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 69°.
- Farthest visible point
- 23.7 km away at azimuth 208°, 0.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 58 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 61.0° high at azimuth 70°, 48.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 20:03:17 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
- 69° Ritchey M, 3.79 km away, 12.3° high, 830 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.
