Horizon view
Horizon from Schickard Q
42.7411° S, 53.0476° W · cell 16GHJ
- Highest horizon point
- Schickard Q: 11.3° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 26°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 0°, 10.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,068 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 0.0° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 92° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 10.0°. At 2026-10-22 16:42:19 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.
Vertical scale exaggerated 3x (horizontal 4 px per degree). Eye 2 m above the ground.Scroll sideways to turn; the middle faces 26°.

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.
