Horizon view
Horizon from Heinsius O
38.8353° S, 14.9190° W · cell 21HGC
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 14.1° above the horizontal, 8.53 km away at azimuth 190°.
- Farthest visible point
- 23.7 km away at azimuth 88°, 6.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,629 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 28.5° high at azimuth 66°, 20.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 15:38:46 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
- 190° Unnamed, 8.53 km away, 14.1° high, 2,163 m above the ground here
- 305° Unnamed, 9.48 km away, 13.8° high, 2,363 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.
