Horizon view
Horizon from Yerkes
14.6039° N, 51.6975° E · cell 29PKC
- Highest horizon point
- Glaisher A: 3.1° above the horizontal, 64.4 km away at azimuth 200°.
- Farthest visible point
- 111 km away at azimuth 158°, 0.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,393 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 68.2° high at azimuth 224°, 65.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:43:15 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.

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.
