Horizon view
Horizon from Schickard E
47.2776° S, 51.6718° W · cell 17GBH
- Highest horizon point
- Schickard E: 7.5° above the horizontal, 15.2 km away at azimuth 184°.
- Farthest visible point
- 19.9 km away at azimuth 133°, 3.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,146 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 1.7° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 90° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 4.5°. At 2026-10-22 18:23:52 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
- 184° Schickard E, 15.2 km away, 7.5° high, 2,063 m above the ground here
- 55° Schickard E, 16.1 km away, 6.3° high, 1,868 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.
