Horizon view

Horizon from Roche V

38.9759° S, 129.9907° E · cell 39HGC

Highest horizon point
Roche V: 10.8° above the horizontal, 9.48 km away at azimuth 222°.
Farthest visible point
49.3 km away at azimuth 263°, 5.3° from the horizontal.
Observer
Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,936 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
Sun at the rendered time
The Sun is below the horizon: 0.4° under it at azimuth 268°. At 2026-10-22 16:15:02 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.
