Horizon view
Horizon from Thales
61.7351° N, 50.2675° E · cell 29VGV
- Highest horizon point
- Thales: 13.6° above the horizontal, 14.2 km away at azimuth 334°.
- Farthest visible point
- 16.1 km away at azimuth 161°, 9.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,354 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 26.3° high at azimuth 193°, 16.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:14:50 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.
