Horizon view
Horizon from Wilkins
29.5801° S, 19.5767° E · cell 25JJE
- Highest horizon point
- Wilkins: 5.0° above the horizontal, 26.5 km away at azimuth 161°.
- Farthest visible point
- 58.8 km away at azimuth 271°, 0.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 476 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 55.6° high at azimuth 39°, 54.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 12:43:08 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.
