Horizon view
Horizon from Surveyor 5
1.4551° N, 23.1943° E · cell 26NEG
- Highest horizon point
- Sabine C: 0.9° above the horizontal, 14.0 km away at azimuth 211°.
- Farthest visible point
- 18.5 km away at azimuth 195°, 0.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,046 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 55.3° high at azimuth 266°, 54.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-09-27 05:47:10 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
- 211° Sabine C, 14.0 km away, 0.9° high, 288 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.
