Horizon view

Horizon from Tooley

88.0400° S, 51.3100° E · cell BBP

Highest horizon point
An unnamed point: 11.2° above the horizontal, 21.2 km away at azimuth 37°.
Farthest visible point
33.5 km away at azimuth 247°, 5.3° from the horizontal.
Observer
Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 4,108 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
Sun at the rendered time
The Sun is 3.3° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 349° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 8.3°. At 2026-10-22 12:23:34 UTC, when this page was served.
Resolution
Terrain resolution: about 160 m at this point and about 400 m at the farthest samples; nearby foreground relief is smoothed at the coarser tiers, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.

Peaks on the skyline

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.
