Horizon view
Horizon from Hesiodus
29.4195° S, 16.4185° W · cell 21JEQ
- Highest horizon point
- Hesiodus: 15.4° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 187°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 2°, 5.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,627 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 31.8° high at azimuth 72°, 21.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:24:01 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
- 187° Hesiodus, 0.95 km away, 15.4° high, 263 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.
