Horizon view
Horizon from Icarus E
5.3021° S, 168.8647° W · cell 2MDU
- Highest horizon point
- Icarus E: 17.7° above the horizontal, 9.48 km away at azimuth 139°.
- Farthest visible point
- 10.4 km away at azimuth 302°, 8.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,204 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 60.7° under it at azimuth 258°. At 2026-10-22 13:38:50 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° Icarus E, 9.48 km away, 17.7° high, 3,055 m above the ground here
- 330° Icarus E, 9.48 km away, 10.1° high, 1,712 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.
