Horizon view
Horizon from Young B
40.9978° S, 50.7376° E · cell 29GHR
- Highest horizon point
- Young: 12.0° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 269°.
- Farthest visible point
- 17.1 km away at azimuth 340°, 10.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,183 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 48.8° high at azimuth 341°, 38.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:15:26 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
- 269° Young, 2.84 km away, 12.0° high, 610 m above the ground here
- 126° Young, 4.74 km away, 10.3° high, 865 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.
