Horizon view
Horizon from Sasserides
39.2776° S, 9.4444° W · cell 22HDN
- Highest horizon point
- Sasserides F: 3.1° above the horizontal, 38.9 km away at azimuth 185°.
- Farthest visible point
- 78.7 km away at azimuth 53°, 0.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,885 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 30.5° high at azimuth 64°, 29.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:38 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.

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.
