Horizon view
Horizon from Scheiner S
58.3861° S, 25.3341° W · cell 20EEQ
- Highest horizon point
- Scheiner S: 19.1° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 34°.
- Farthest visible point
- 4.74 km away at azimuth 198°, 9.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 955 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 14.6° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 68° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 17.5°. At 2026-10-22 16:15:27 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
- 34° Scheiner S, 0.95 km away, 19.1° high, 329 m above the ground here
- 236° Scheiner S, 3.79 km away, 11.2° high, 754 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.
