Horizon view
Horizon from Schwarzschild
70.0802° N, 121.5672° E · cell 38WFK
- Highest horizon point
- Schwarzschild: 7.5° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 160°.
- Farthest visible point
- 102 km away at azimuth 57°, 0.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,330 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 1.9° high at azimuth 261°, 1.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:58 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
- 160° Schwarzschild, 0.95 km away, 7.5° high, 127 m above the ground here
- 359° Schwarzschild, 20.9 km away, 2.4° high, 1,015 m above the ground here
- 305° Unnamed, 42.6 km away, 1.3° high, 1,517 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.
