Horizon view
Horizon from Schickard
44.3793° S, 55.1052° W · cell 16GFG
- Highest horizon point
- Schickard: 0.3° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 226°.
- Farthest visible point
- 105 km away at azimuth 115°, -0.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,428 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 3.4° under it at azimuth 95°. At 2026-10-22 11:05:38 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.
