Horizon view

Horizon from Scott

82.3532° S, 48.5154° E · cell BGU

Highest horizon point
An unnamed point: 9.4° above the horizontal, 51.0 km away at azimuth 195°.
Farthest visible point
81.7 km away at azimuth 335°, 3.1° from the horizontal.
Observer
Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,820 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
Sun at the rendered time
The Sun is above the local horizon: 8.9° high at azimuth 353°, 4.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 10:51:14 UTC, when this page was served.
Resolution
Terrain resolution: about 160 m at this point and about 1.9 km at the farthest samples; nearby foreground relief is smoothed at the coarser tiers, 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.
