Horizon view
Horizon from J. Herschel L
61.0063° N, 40.2158° W · cell 18VED
- Highest horizon point
- J. Herschel L: 18.9° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 245°.
- Farthest visible point
- 4.74 km away at azimuth 125°, 7.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,848 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 3.7° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 100° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 10.0°. At 2026-10-22 13:49:17 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
- 245° J. Herschel L, 1.90 km away, 18.9° high, 649 m above the ground here
- 356° J. Herschel L, 2.84 km away, 16.9° high, 867 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.
