Horizon view
Horizon from Icarus Q
7.7698° S, 176.2868° W · cell 1MEL
- Highest horizon point
- Icarus Q: 11.9° above the horizontal, 14.2 km away at azimuth 310°.
- Farthest visible point
- 92.9 km away at azimuth 147°, 1.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 551 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 54.4° under it at azimuth 257°. At 2026-10-22 16:42:09 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
- 310° Icarus Q, 14.2 km away, 11.9° high, 3,055 m above the ground here
- 43° Icarus Q, 17.1 km away, 10.8° high, 3,363 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.
