Horizon view
Horizon from Sharp K
47.5014° N, 38.5643° W · cell 18TGH
- Highest horizon point
- Sharp K: 11.5° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 3°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 287°, 4.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,813 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 6.9° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 100° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 11.1°. 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
- 3° Sharp K, 2.84 km away, 11.5° high, 582 m above the ground here
- 91° Sharp K, 1.90 km away, 11.3° high, 383 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.
