Horizon view
Horizon from Scheiner L
65.8719° S, 35.2187° W · cell 19DDA
- Highest horizon point
- Scheiner L: 21.3° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 261°.
- Farthest visible point
- 4.74 km away at azimuth 0°, 15.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,117 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 7.7° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 76° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 19.1°. At 2026-10-22 15:38:29 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.
