Horizon view
Horizon from Schickard T
44.8096° S, 50.3744° W · cell 17GCL
- Highest horizon point
- Schickard T: 10.7° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 87°.
- Farthest visible point
- 10.4 km away at azimuth 303°, 0.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 320 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 2.0° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 90° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 10.6°. At 2026-10-22 16:42:15 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
- 87° Schickard T, 1.90 km away, 10.7° high, 360 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.
