Horizon view
Horizon from Tycho Y
44.1161° S, 15.9327° W · cell 21GFS
- Highest horizon point
- Tycho Y: 12.8° above the horizontal, 9.48 km away at azimuth 202°.
- Farthest visible point
- 11.4 km away at azimuth 156°, 11.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,384 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 27.1° high at azimuth 63°, 19.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 20:17:22 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.

- 45° Tycho Y, 8.53 km away, 8.9° high, 1,357 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.
