Horizon view
Horizon from Macrobius Q
20.3957° N, 47.6306° E · cell 29QEK
- Highest horizon point
- Macrobius Q: 13.9° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 85°.
- Farthest visible point
- 5.69 km away at azimuth 303°, 6.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 328 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 66.6° high at azimuth 202°, 59.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 15:16:57 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
- 85° Macrobius Q, 3.79 km away, 13.9° high, 946 m above the ground here
- 256° Macrobius Q, 4.74 km away, 7.6° high, 638 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.
