Horizon view
Horizon from Surveyor 1
2.4745° S, 43.3398° W · cell 18MAG
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 0.5° above the horizontal, 26.5 km away at azimuth 113°.
- Farthest visible point
- 29.4 km away at azimuth 344°, 0.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,886 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 58.1° high at azimuth 88°, 57.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-09-27 05:47:24 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
- 113° Unnamed, 26.5 km away, 0.5° high, 443 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.
