Horizon view
Horizon from Roche B
40.5816° S, 137.7888° E · cell 40GGL
- Highest horizon point
- Roche B: 14.8° above the horizontal, 10.4 km away at azimuth 326°.
- Farthest visible point
- 12.3 km away at azimuth 113°, 8.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,255 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 6.2° under it at azimuth 263°. At 2026-10-22 16:14:19 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
- 326° Roche B, 10.4 km away, 14.8° high, 2,791 m above the ground here
- 33° Roche B, 10.4 km away, 14.3° high, 2,683 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.
