Horizon view
Horizon from Schickard Y
47.4417° S, 57.6016° W · cell 16GDC
- Highest horizon point
- Schickard Y: 9.0° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 70°.
- Farthest visible point
- 49.3 km away at azimuth 244°, 0.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 686 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 2.8° under it at azimuth 95°. At 2026-10-22 17:08:51 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
- 70° Schickard Y, 2.84 km away, 9.0° high, 457 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.
