Horizon view
Horizon from Roche W
39.2564° S, 131.2593° E · cell 39HJC
- Highest horizon point
- Roche W: 16.1° above the horizontal, 11.4 km away at azimuth 206°.
- Farthest visible point
- 20.9 km away at azimuth 345°, 12.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 4,175 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 1.3° under it at azimuth 267°. At 2026-10-22 16:15:22 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
- 206° Roche W, 11.4 km away, 16.1° high, 3,310 m above the ground here
- 11° Roche W, 10.4 km away, 13.5° high, 2,541 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.
