Horizon view
Horizon from Helicon C
40.0768° N, 26.2610° W · cell 20TCP
- Highest horizon point
- Helicon C: 0.3° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 127°.
- Farthest visible point
- 7.58 km away at azimuth 321°, -0.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,453 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 19.7° high at azimuth 110°, 19.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 20:27:16 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
- 127° Helicon C, 2.84 km away, 0.3° high, 17 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.
