Horizon view
Horizon from Suess J
6.8937° N, 48.5312° W · cell 17NEP
- Highest horizon point
- Suess J: 5.2° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 128°.
- Farthest visible point
- 1.90 km away at azimuth 0°, 3.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,444 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is on the skyline at azimuth 92°: part of its disc shows above the terrain (4.7° high, the skyline 4.6°). At 2026-10-22 19:52:54 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
- 128° Suess J, 0.95 km away, 5.2° high, 88 m above the ground here
- 216° Suess J, 0.95 km away, 4.7° high, 80 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.
