Horizon view
Horizon from Icarus X
2.2542° S, 175.6791° W · cell 1MFT
- Highest horizon point
- Icarus X: 8.7° above the horizontal, 23.7 km away at azimuth 357°.
- Farthest visible point
- 31.3 km away at azimuth 182°, 5.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 848 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 55.9° under it at azimuth 264°. At 2026-10-22 16:42:07 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.

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.
