Horizon view
Horizon from Samir
28.5044° N, 34.2879° W · cell 19RCQ
- Highest horizon point
- Diophantus: 2.5° above the horizontal, 16.1 km away at azimuth 186°.
- Farthest visible point
- 22.7 km away at azimuth 201°, 1.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,693 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 14.0° high at azimuth 99°, 13.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 15:16:59 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
- 186° Diophantus, 16.1 km away, 2.5° high, 766 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.
