Horizon view
Horizon from Heraclitus C
48.8917° S, 6.2169° E · cell 24FDL
- Highest horizon point
- Heraclitus: 12.3° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 162°.
- Farthest visible point
- 34.1 km away at azimuth 277°, 3.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,287 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 34.6° high at azimuth 42°, 27.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 14:25:18 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
- 162° Heraclitus, 1.90 km away, 12.3° high, 417 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.
