Horizon view
Horizon from Wilhelm S
41.8212° S, 21.8340° W · cell 20GGQ
- Highest horizon point
- Wilhelm S: 22.6° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 295°.
- Farthest visible point
- 18.9 km away at azimuth 62°, 4.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,321 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 21.7° high at azimuth 71°, 17.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:31:15 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
- 295° Wilhelm S, 2.84 km away, 22.6° high, 1,190 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.
