Horizon view
Horizon from Schröter K
3.0929° N, 7.9271° W · cell 22NFD
- Highest horizon point
- Schröter K: 8.3° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 224°.
- Farthest visible point
- 9.48 km away at azimuth 86°, 3.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 720 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 45.0° high at azimuth 95°, 41.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:24:31 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.

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.
