Horizon from Virtanen F
15.7900° N, 177.3200° E · cell 45PGK
- Highest horizon point
- Virtanen F: 27.3° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 42°.
- Farthest visible point
- 37.9 km away at azimuth 262°, 2.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,326 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 46.1° under it at azimuth 285°. At 2026-10-22 14:25:36 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
- 42° Virtanen F, 4.74 km away, 27.3° high, 2,454 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.
