Horizon view

Horizon from Scheiner W

60.3700° S, 37.6609° W · cell 18EGS

Highest horizon point
Scheiner W: 16.2° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 67°.
Farthest visible point
3.79 km away at azimuth 121°, 9.1° from the horizontal.
Observer
Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 276 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
Sun at the rendered time
The Sun is 9.0° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 77° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 15.9°. At 2026-10-22 20:06:12 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

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.
