Horizon view
Horizon from Simpelius F
68.6874° S, 16.7342° E · cell 25DFS
- Highest horizon point
- Simpelius F: 7.3° above the horizontal, 13.3 km away at azimuth 143°.
- Farthest visible point
- 27.5 km away at azimuth 354°, 0.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 773 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 20.9° high at azimuth 25°, 19.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:45:19 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
- 143° Simpelius F, 13.3 km away, 7.3° high, 1,744 m above the ground here
- 233° Simpelius A, 14.2 km away, 6.8° high, 1,756 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.
