Horizon view
Horizon from Van der Waals B
41.3750° S, 121.5019° E · cell 38GGQ
- Highest horizon point
- Van der Waals B: 16.4° above the horizontal, 7.58 km away at azimuth 331°.
- Farthest visible point
- 9.48 km away at azimuth 150°, 2.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 331 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 5.8° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 273° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 12.2°. At 2026-10-22 16:56:56 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
- 331° Van der Waals B, 7.58 km away, 16.4° high, 2,247 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.
