Horizon view
Horizon from Rubin
82.8200° S, 77.6500° E · cell BJP
- Highest horizon point
- Mons Amundsen: 24.5° above the horizontal, 1.68 km away at azimuth 70°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.00 km away at azimuth 225°, 22.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,291 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 7.1° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 323° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 20.7°. At 2026-10-22 10:47:13 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 160 m at this point and about 1.9 km at the farthest samples; nearby foreground relief is smoothed at the coarser tiers, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.

Peaks on the skyline
- 70° Mons Amundsen, 1.68 km away, 24.5° high, 771 m above the ground here
- 150° Mons Amundsen, 1.84 km away, 24.5° high, 842 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.
