Horizon view
Horizon from Scheiner H
56.3541° S, 27.4570° W · cell 20ECS
- Highest horizon point
- Scheiner H: 19.9° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 86°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 0°, 12.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,100 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 15.2° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 69° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 19.8°. At 2026-10-22 19:42:58 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
- 86° Scheiner H, 3.79 km away, 19.9° high, 1,380 m above the ground here
- 272° Scheiner H, 2.84 km away, 19.6° high, 1,014 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.
