Horizon view
Horizon from Surveyor 3
3.0162° S, 23.4180° W · cell 20MFB
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 0.5° above the horizontal, 5.45 km away at azimuth 42°.
- Farthest visible point
- 25.1 km away at azimuth 222°, -0.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,427 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 77.8° high at azimuth 80°, 77.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-09-27 05:47:09 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 474 m at this point and about 1.9 km at the farthest samples; nearby foreground relief is smoothed at the coarser tiers, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.

Peaks on the skyline
- 42° Unnamed, 5.45 km away, 0.5° high, 53 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.
