Horizon view
Horizon from Simpelius B
75.1704° S, 10.0967° E · cell 24CFU
- Highest horizon point
- Simpelius B: 8.9° above the horizontal, 24.6 km away at azimuth 193°.
- Farthest visible point
- 30.3 km away at azimuth 230°, 6.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 271 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 14.0° high at azimuth 32°, 9.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:56 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.

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.
