Horizon view
Horizon from von Braun
41.0431° N, 78.0845° W · cell 13TGK
- Highest horizon point
- von Braun: 2.8° above the horizontal, 27.5 km away at azimuth 270°.
- Farthest visible point
- 38.9 km away at azimuth 158°, 0.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,120 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 22.2° under it at azimuth 71°. At 2026-10-22 11:55:01 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.

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.
