Horizon view
Horizon from Surveyor 6
0.4742° N, 1.4275° W · cell 23NDF
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 0.2° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 268°.
- Farthest visible point
- 79.6 km away at azimuth 220°, -0.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 756 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 79.9° high at azimuth 262°, 79.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-09-27 05:47:26 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
- 268° Unnamed, 4.74 km away, 0.2° high, 25 m above the ground here
- 95° Unnamed, 1.90 km away, 0.1° high, 6 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.
