Horizon view

Horizon from Vitello A

34.1148° S, 41.9661° W · cell 18HDJ

Highest horizon point
Vitello A: 13.5° above the horizontal, 8.53 km away at azimuth 248°.
Farthest visible point
11.4 km away at azimuth 19°, 9.0° from the horizontal.
Observer
Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,635 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
Sun at the rendered time
The Sun is 9.7° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 85° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 10.4°. At 2026-10-22 18:42:31 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

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.
