Horizon view
Horizon from Herodotus K
24.5071° N, 51.9662° W · cell 17RAQ
- Highest horizon point
- Herodotus K: 13.5° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 237°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 59°, 2.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,402 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 0.2° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 92° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 4.6°. At 2026-10-22 18:36:28 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
- 237° Herodotus K, 0.95 km away, 13.5° high, 229 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.
