Horizon view
Horizon from Heinsius L
41.2545° S, 18.4583° W · cell 21GCV
- Highest horizon point
- Wilhelm D: 8.9° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 159°.
- Farthest visible point
- 4.74 km away at azimuth 0°, 2.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 192 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 25.5° high at azimuth 67°, 21.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:09:01 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
- 159° Wilhelm D, 4.74 km away, 8.9° high, 752 m above the ground here
- 273° Heinsius L, 2.84 km away, 6.8° high, 343 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.
