Horizon view
Horizon from von Békésy
51.9230° N, 126.7339° E · cell 39UEN
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 4.7° above the horizontal, 44.5 km away at azimuth 327°.
- Farthest visible point
- 65.4 km away at azimuth 139°, 2.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,961 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 1.1° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 266° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 4.1°. At 2026-10-22 12:43:14 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.
Vertical scale exaggerated 5x (horizontal 4 px per degree). Eye 2 m above the ground.Scroll sideways to turn; the middle faces 327°.

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.
