Horizon view
Horizon from Surveyor 7
40.9812° S, 11.5127° W · cell 22GBL
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 3.1° above the horizontal, 12.3 km away at azimuth 182°.
- Farthest visible point
- 42.6 km away at azimuth 79°, 0.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 97 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 49.9° high at azimuth 0°, 48.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-09-27 05:47:10 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.

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.
