Horizon view
Horizon from Isis
18.9531° N, 27.4820° E · cell 26QJJ
- Highest horizon point
- Mons Argaeus: 2.8° above the horizontal, 34.6 km away at azimuth 57°.
- Farthest visible point
- 62.3 km away at azimuth 93°, 0.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,778 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 67.4° high at azimuth 153°, 66.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:57:24 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
- 57° Mons Argaeus, 34.6 km away, 2.8° high, 2,011 m above the ground here
- 80° Mons Argaeus, 41.0 km away, 2.2° high, 2,055 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.
