Horizon view
Horizon from Helmholtz A
64.4973° S, 51.5188° E · cell 29DGG
- Highest horizon point
- Helmholtz A: 17.2° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 270°.
- Farthest visible point
- 8.53 km away at azimuth 123°, 13.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,490 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 26.1° high at azimuth 345°, 12.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:15:46 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
- 270° Helmholtz A, 6.63 km away, 17.2° high, 2,067 m above the ground here
- 208° Helmholtz A, 7.58 km away, 16.3° high, 2,235 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.
