Horizon view
Horizon from Simpelius L
70.4431° S, 6.5284° E · cell 24DEE
- Highest horizon point
- Simpelius L: 9.1° above the horizontal, 8.53 km away at azimuth 176°.
- Farthest visible point
- 9.48 km away at azimuth 207°, 4.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,144 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 17.8° high at azimuth 34°, 11.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:16:43 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.
