Horizon view
Horizon from Herschel D
5.3205° S, 3.9871° W · cell 23MAU
- Highest horizon point
- Herschel D: 10.0° above the horizontal, 8.53 km away at azimuth 139°.
- Farthest visible point
- 54.0 km away at azimuth 329°, 0.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 474 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 47.9° high at azimuth 86°, 41.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:09:11 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
- 139° Herschel D, 8.53 km away, 10.0° high, 1,522 m above the ground here
- 266° Herschel D, 8.53 km away, 3.5° high, 548 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.
