Peaks on the skyline
- 161° Santos-Dumont, 3.79 km away, 27.8° high, 2,000 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.
