Horizon view
Horizon from Sharp J
46.9609° N, 38.0622° W · cell 18TGG
- Highest horizon point
- Sharp J: 22.4° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 172°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 347°, 2.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,008 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 7.3° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 100° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 20.4°. At 2026-10-22 13:38:47 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
- 172° Sharp J, 0.95 km away, 22.4° high, 392 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.
