Horizon view
Horizon from Simpelius M
70.5227° S, 16.3300° E · cell 25DFQ
- Highest horizon point
- Simpelius M: 20.4° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 183°.
- Farthest visible point
- 46.4 km away at azimuth 3°, 0.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 740 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 19.2° high at azimuth 25°, 18.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:30:52 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
- 183° Simpelius M, 1.90 km away, 20.4° high, 710 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.
