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

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.
