Horizon view
Horizon from Heaviside E
10.1257° S, 169.1992° E · cell 44LGN
- Highest horizon point
- Heaviside E: 23.2° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 73°.
- Farthest visible point
- 5.69 km away at azimuth 212°, 10.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 133 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 40.7° under it at azimuth 259°. At 2026-10-22 18:23:53 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.
