Horizon from Saussure B
42.2688° S, 4.0180° W · cell 22GJJ
- Highest horizon point
- Saussure B: 17.9° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 176°.
- Farthest visible point
- 129 km away at azimuth 23°, -1.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,566 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 33.7° high at azimuth 55°, 29.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 14:33:31 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.
