Horizon view
Horizon from Rutherford
10.5637° N, 137.0917° E · cell 40PGN
- Highest horizon point
- Rutherford: 19.7° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 53°.
- Farthest visible point
- 8.53 km away at azimuth 164°, 11.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,701 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 11.0° under it at azimuth 271°. At 2026-10-22 20:42:14 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
- 53° Rutherford, 4.74 km away, 19.7° high, 1,705 m above the ground here
- 254° Rutherford, 3.79 km away, 14.4° high, 979 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.
