Horizon view
Horizon from Heinsius K
38.5779° S, 18.5979° W · cell 21HCD
- Highest horizon point
- Heinsius K: 11.2° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 283°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 73°, 5.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,447 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 26.4° high at azimuth 69°, 20.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:08:53 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.

Peaks on the skyline
- 283° Heinsius K, 0.95 km away, 11.2° high, 190 m above the ground here
- 42° Heinsius K, 1.90 km away, 7.3° high, 246 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.
