Horizon view
Horizon from Van Biesbroeck
28.7664° N, 45.5872° W · cell 17RHV
- Highest horizon point
- Van Biesbroeck: 24.1° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 152°.
- Farthest visible point
- 4.74 km away at azimuth 15°, 13.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,908 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 4.3° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 94° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 18.7°. At 2026-10-22 15:38:27 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
- 152° Van Biesbroeck, 3.79 km away, 24.1° high, 1,704 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.
