Horizon view
Horizon from Icarus
5.4912° S, 173.2585° W · cell 1MJP
- Highest horizon point
- Icarus: 12.1° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 227°.
- Farthest visible point
- 102 km away at azimuth 71°, -1.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 4,441 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 55.1° under it at azimuth 260°. At 2026-10-22 11:05:18 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
- 227° Icarus, 0.95 km away, 12.1° high, 206 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.
