Horizon view
Horizon from Sherrington
11.1281° S, 118.0003° E · cell 38LCM
- Highest horizon point
- Sherrington: 20.4° above the horizontal, 7.58 km away at azimuth 218°.
- Farthest visible point
- 9.48 km away at azimuth 58°, 8.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 781 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 11.8° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 271° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 17.2°. At 2026-10-22 13:31:03 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
- 218° Sherrington, 7.58 km away, 20.4° high, 2,839 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.
