Horizon view
Horizon from Herodotus N
23.6445° N, 50.1164° W · cell 17QCP
- Highest horizon point
- Herodotus N: 20.6° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 317°.
- Farthest visible point
- 33.2 km away at azimuth 141°, 0.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,034 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 2.4° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 93° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 3.5°. At 2026-10-22 19:43:06 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.

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.
