Horizon view
Horizon from Herodotus H
26.7733° N, 50.0687° W · cell 17RCT
- Highest horizon point
- Herodotus H: 19.5° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 120°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 191°, 11.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,703 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 1.7° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 92° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 17.1°. At 2026-10-22 18:19:40 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
- 120° Herodotus H, 2.84 km away, 19.5° high, 1,011 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.
