Horizon view
Horizon from Hermite A
87.9403° N, 51.0219° W · cell YYL
- Highest horizon point
- Hermite A: 20.2° above the horizontal, 8.00 km away at azimuth 173°.
- Farthest visible point
- 11.2 km away at azimuth 333°, 13.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,929 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 1.4° under it at azimuth 89°. At 2026-10-22 13:30:08 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 160 m at this point and about 400 m at the farthest samples; nearby foreground relief is smoothed at the coarser tiers, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.

- 305° Hermite A, 10.1 km away, 14.7° high, 2,681 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.
