Horizon view
Horizon from Tycho S
43.4749° S, 16.3027° W · cell 21GET
- Highest horizon point
- Tycho S: 11.9° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 243°.
- Farthest visible point
- 115 km away at azimuth 54°, -1.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 850 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 26.8° high at azimuth 64°, 27.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:24:30 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
- 243° Tycho S, 0.95 km away, 11.9° high, 201 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.
