Horizon view
Horizon from Wapowski
83.0777° S, 53.7893° E · cell BGS
- Highest horizon point
- Wapowski: 28.9° above the horizontal, 5.12 km away at azimuth 161°.
- Farthest visible point
- 5.68 km away at azimuth 37°, 19.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,817 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 8.1° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 347° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 12.2°. At 2026-10-22 10:47:32 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 160 m at this point and about 1.9 km at the farthest samples; nearby foreground relief is smoothed at the coarser tiers, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.

Peaks on the skyline
- 161° Wapowski, 5.12 km away, 28.9° high, 2,840 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.
