Horizon view
Horizon from Heinsius B
40.0058° S, 18.7303° W · cell 21GCB
- Highest horizon point
- Heinsius B: 16.1° above the horizontal, 10.4 km away at azimuth 232°.
- Farthest visible point
- 18.0 km away at azimuth 61°, 3.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,515 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 25.7° high at azimuth 68°, 21.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:42:13 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
- 232° Heinsius B, 10.4 km away, 16.1° high, 3,032 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.
