Horizon view
Horizon from Vega C
45.2726° S, 64.7204° E · cell 31GFF
- Highest horizon point
- Vega C: 14.6° above the horizontal, 9.48 km away at azimuth 80°.
- Farthest visible point
- 66.3 km away at azimuth 301°, 1.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,586 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 40.4° high at azimuth 324°, 37.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:16:50 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
- 80° Vega C, 9.48 km away, 14.6° high, 2,487 m above the ground here
- 159° Vega C, 10.4 km away, 14.2° high, 2,664 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.
