Horizon view
Horizon from Heraclitus
49.3051° S, 6.4202° E · cell 24FDL
- Highest horizon point
- Heraclitus: 8.7° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 295°.
- Farthest visible point
- 63.5 km away at azimuth 194°, 0.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,961 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 33.7° high at azimuth 43°, 30.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:58 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
- 295° Heraclitus, 5.69 km away, 8.7° high, 880 m above the ground here
- 127° Heraclitus, 33.2 km away, 4.5° high, 2,949 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.
