Horizon view
Horizon from Hecataeus N
20.9106° S, 80.9443° E · cell 33KGE
- Highest horizon point
- Hecataeus N: 24.9° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 36°.
- Farthest visible point
- 5.69 km away at azimuth 164°, 11.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 4,025 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 44.2° high at azimuth 290°, 32.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:16:43 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
- 36° Hecataeus N, 3.79 km away, 24.9° high, 1,767 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.
