Horizon view
Horizon from Rupes Cauchy
9.3109° N, 37.0759° E · cell 28PBM
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 4.1° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 28°.
- Farthest visible point
- 41.7 km away at azimuth 291°, -0.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 557 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 78.6° high at azimuth 160°, 79.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:06:35 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
- 28° Unnamed, 0.95 km away, 4.1° high, 70 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.
