Horizon view
Horizon from Scott M
83.8646° S, 34.7362° E · cell BEU
- Highest horizon point
- Mons Mouton: 16.6° above the horizontal, 8.24 km away at azimuth 173°.
- Farthest visible point
- 9.68 km away at azimuth 26°, 7.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,045 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 7.5° high at azimuth 7°, 1.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 10:47:13 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
- 173° Mons Mouton, 8.24 km away, 16.6° high, 2,493 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.
