Horizon view
Horizon from Roche
42.3652° S, 136.5413° E · cell 40GFJ
- Highest horizon point
- Roche: 8.9° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 116°.
- Farthest visible point
- 84.3 km away at azimuth 322°, 0.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,629 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 3.1° under it at azimuth 265°. At 2026-10-22 11:05:06 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
- 116° Roche, 5.69 km away, 8.9° high, 897 m above the ground here
- 290° Unnamed, 75.8 km away, 1.8° high, 4,006 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.
