Horizon view

Horizon from Schrödinger

74.7326° S, 132.9252° E · cell 40CEK

Highest horizon point
An unnamed point: 2.5° above the horizontal, 39.8 km away at azimuth 227°.
Farthest visible point
85.3 km away at azimuth 334°, 0.4° from the horizontal.
Observer
Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 4,603 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
Sun at the rendered time
The Sun is on the skyline at azimuth 268°: part of its disc shows above the terrain (0.8° high, the skyline 0.8°). At 2026-10-22 11:05:19 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.

Peaks on the skyline

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.
