Horizon view
Horizon from Wilson
69.3286° S, 42.8256° W · cell 18DDF
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 5.7° above the horizontal, 35.1 km away at azimuth 105°.
- Farthest visible point
- 45.5 km away at azimuth 241°, 2.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,276 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 3.4° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 85° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 4.9°. At 2026-10-22 11:06:21 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.
