Horizon view
Horizon from J. Herschel R
62.5930° N, 30.6964° W · cell 19VFR
- Highest horizon point
- J. Herschel R: 24.4° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 69°.
- Farthest visible point
- 4.74 km away at azimuth 137°, 17.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,944 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 8.8° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 110° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 23.2°. At 2026-10-22 18:42:55 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
- 69° J. Herschel R, 2.84 km away, 24.4° high, 1,294 m above the ground here
- 279° J. Herschel R, 3.79 km away, 23.9° high, 1,684 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.
