Horizon view
Horizon from Zucchius C
60.8750° S, 45.7215° W · cell 17EGM
- Highest horizon point
- Zucchius C: 8.9° above the horizontal, 12.3 km away at azimuth 177°.
- Farthest visible point
- 23.7 km away at azimuth 140°, 4.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,348 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 87° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 4.1°. At 2026-10-22 13:29:56 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
- 177° Zucchius C, 12.3 km away, 8.9° high, 1,983 m above the ground here
- 325° Zucchius C, 10.4 km away, 3.9° high, 751 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.
