Horizon view
Horizon from Rupes Toscanelli
26.9708° N, 47.5346° W · cell 17RFT
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 6.0° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 90°.
- Farthest visible point
- 54.0 km away at azimuth 216°, 0.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,410 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 1.4° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 92° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 6.0°. At 2026-10-22 12:43:13 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
- 90° Unnamed, 0.95 km away, 6.0° high, 101 m above the ground here
- 270° Unnamed, 18.9 km away, 1.3° high, 536 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.
