Horizon view
Horizon from Vallis Planck
57.2649° S, 126.1559° E · cell 39EDA
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 9.3° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 147°.
- Farthest visible point
- 188 km away at azimuth 321°, -2.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,808 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 3.8° high at azimuth 273°, 1.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:06:29 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
- 147° Unnamed, 1.90 km away, 9.3° high, 315 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.
