Horizon view
Horizon from Scoresby K
76.3531° N, 2.9470° E · cell 23XFT
- Highest horizon point
- Scoresby K: 7.4° above the horizontal, 11.4 km away at azimuth 350°.
- Farthest visible point
- 12.3 km away at azimuth 34°, 5.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 845 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 9.6° high at azimuth 143°, 4.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:49:11 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
- 350° Scoresby K, 11.4 km away, 7.4° high, 1,511 m above the ground here
- 133° Scoresby K, 11.4 km away, 6.2° high, 1,268 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.
