Horizon view
Horizon from Scheiner J
59.7629° S, 28.8262° W · cell 19EGH
- Highest horizon point
- Scheiner: 23.8° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 6°.
- Farthest visible point
- 5.69 km away at azimuth 75°, 16.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 4,912 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 12.4° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 71° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 16.5°. At 2026-10-22 16:15:30 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
- 6° Scheiner, 2.84 km away, 23.8° high, 1,255 m above the ground here
- 236° Scheiner, 3.79 km away, 21.5° high, 1,499 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.
