Horizon view
Horizon from Wilson C
71.9625° S, 45.3783° W · cell 17DFT
- Highest horizon point
- Wilson C: 14.5° above the horizontal, 12.3 km away at azimuth 200°.
- Farthest visible point
- 15.2 km away at azimuth 8°, 7.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,129 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 2.8° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 86° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 11.8°. At 2026-10-22 13:31:16 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
- 200° Wilson C, 12.3 km away, 14.5° high, 3,239 m above the ground here
- 307° Wilson C, 12.3 km away, 10.3° high, 2,288 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.
