Horizon view
Horizon from Sharp-Apollo
3.0200° S, 23.4300° W · cell 20MFB
- Highest horizon point
- Crescent: 0.5° above the horizontal, 1.18 km away at azimuth 24°.
- Farthest visible point
- 24.9 km away at azimuth 223°, -0.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,431 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 25.5° high at azimuth 90°, 25.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 10:58:58 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 474 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
- 24° Crescent, 1.18 km away, 0.5° high, 13 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.
