Horizon view
Horizon from Thales A
58.5628° N, 40.8931° E · cell 28VFL
- Highest horizon point
- Thales A: 21.4° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 85°.
- Farthest visible point
- 6.63 km away at azimuth 0°, 16.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,613 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 30.0° high at azimuth 184°, 13.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:47:35 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
- 85° Thales A, 4.74 km away, 21.4° high, 1,866 m above the ground here
- 277° Thales A, 5.69 km away, 20.8° high, 2,170 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.
