- Sampson: 3.1° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 160°.
- Farthest visible point
- 20.9 km away at azimuth 308°, -0.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,035 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 29.2° high at azimuth 110°, 26.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:14:22 UTC, when this page was served.

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.
