Horizon view
Horizon from Slater
88.0792° S, 111.2881° E · cell BCM
- Highest horizon point
- Slater: 8.8° above the horizontal, 9.36 km away at azimuth 3°.
- Farthest visible point
- 27.4 km away at azimuth 115°, 3.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,743 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 2.0° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 290° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 7.9°. At 2026-10-22 10:46:37 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 160 m at this point and about 400 m at the farthest samples; nearby foreground relief is smoothed at the coarser tiers, 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.
