Horizon view
Horizon from Thales W
58.5875° N, 39.8984° E · cell 28VEL
- Highest horizon point
- Thales W: 19.4° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 267°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 34°, 17.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,864 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 183°, 15.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:24:16 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
- 267° Thales W, 2.84 km away, 19.4° high, 1,001 m above the ground here
- 48° Thales W, 2.84 km away, 19.1° high, 986 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.
