Horizon view
Horizon from Helicon
40.4306° N, 23.1082° W · cell 20TFP
- Highest horizon point
- Helicon: 8.7° above the horizontal, 11.4 km away at azimuth 21°.
- Farthest visible point
- 12.3 km away at azimuth 0°, 8.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 4,086 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 21.8° high at azimuth 112°, 13.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 20:27:07 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.

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.
