Horizon view
Horizon from Van der Waals K
46.2750° S, 122.8174° E · cell 38GHJ
- Highest horizon point
- Van der Waals K: 7.6° above the horizontal, 24.6 km away at azimuth 95°.
- Farthest visible point
- 27.5 km away at azimuth 133°, 5.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 470 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 5.7° high at azimuth 274°, 3.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:49:08 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
- 95° Van der Waals K, 24.6 km away, 7.6° high, 3,465 m above the ground here
- 202° Van der Waals K, 22.7 km away, 6.3° high, 2,659 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.
