Horizon view
Horizon from Rupes Altai
24.3176° S, 23.1240° E · cell 26JER
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 8.6° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 246°.
- Farthest visible point
- 92.9 km away at azimuth 350°, -1.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,961 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 61.2° high at azimuth 40°, 62.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:06:43 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
- 246° Unnamed, 6.63 km away, 8.6° high, 1,016 m above the ground here
- 22° Polybius C, 64.4 km away, -0.1° high, 1,116 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.
