Horizon view
Horizon from Sita
4.6133° N, 120.7003° E · cell 38NFL
- Highest horizon point
- King: 12.3° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 289°.
- Farthest visible point
- 49.3 km away at azimuth 18°, 3.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,125 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 7.0° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 268° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 11.6°. At 2026-10-22 17:28:39 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
- 289° King, 0.95 km away, 12.3° high, 209 m above the ground here
- 127° Unnamed, 26.5 km away, 8.9° high, 4,353 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.
