Horizon view
Horizon from Wilkins B
29.5489° S, 18.9155° E · cell 25JJE
- Highest horizon point
- Wilkins: 11.5° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 249°.
- Farthest visible point
- 25.6 km away at azimuth 11°, 4.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 168 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 55.8° high at azimuth 38°, 46.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 14:34:02 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.
