Horizon view
Horizon from Vega J
45.5609° S, 60.0444° E · cell 31GBE
- Highest horizon point
- Vega J: 17.6° above the horizontal, 7.58 km away at azimuth 84°.
- Farthest visible point
- 16.1 km away at azimuth 166°, 6.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,646 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 41.4° high at azimuth 329°, 30.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:42:40 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
- 84° Vega J, 7.58 km away, 17.6° high, 2,425 m above the ground here
- 202° Vega J, 11.4 km away, 11.0° high, 2,248 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.
