Horizon view
Horizon from Tycho E
42.3400° S, 13.6611° W · cell 21GHU
- Highest horizon point
- Tycho E: 14.1° above the horizontal, 7.58 km away at azimuth 111°.
- Farthest visible point
- 20.9 km away at azimuth 175°, 9.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,406 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 27.4° high at azimuth 64°, 15.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 14:24:58 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.

- 288° Tycho E, 5.69 km away, 9.2° high, 928 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.
