Horizon view
Horizon from Weigel E
56.9521° S, 42.3931° W · cell 18EDA
- Highest horizon point
- Weigel E: 21.5° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 270°.
- Farthest visible point
- 5.69 km away at azimuth 137°, 16.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,098 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 6.1° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 83° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 18.9°. At 2026-10-22 16:16:16 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
- 270° Weigel E, 3.79 km away, 21.5° high, 1,501 m above the ground here
- 33° Weigel E, 3.79 km away, 19.5° high, 1,350 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.
