Horizon view
Horizon from Heaviside K
12.9066° S, 168.4960° E · cell 44LFK
- Highest horizon point
- Heaviside K: 16.5° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 196°.
- Farthest visible point
- 11.4 km away at azimuth 0°, 4.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,300 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 36.0° under it at azimuth 259°. At 2026-10-22 11:06:15 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.

- 27° Heaviside K, 10.4 km away, 7.1° high, 1,337 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.
