Horizon view
Horizon from Herschel
5.6860° S, 2.0854° W · cell 23MCU
- Highest horizon point
- Herschel: 13.9° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 287°.
- Farthest visible point
- 20.9 km away at azimuth 162°, 9.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,698 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 50.9° high at azimuth 85°, 42.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:24:35 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.
