Horizon view
Horizon from Herschel N
5.2211° S, 1.0927° W · cell 23MDU
- Highest horizon point
- Herschel N: 12.4° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 172°.
- Farthest visible point
- 15.2 km away at azimuth 18°, -0.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 547 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 51.0° high at azimuth 86°, 43.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:28:42 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
- 172° Herschel N, 5.69 km away, 12.4° high, 1,260 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.
