Horizon view
Horizon from Mandel'shtam Q
2.3097° N, 158.7349° E · cell 43NDC
- Highest horizon point
- Mandel'shtam Q: 13.3° above the horizontal, 10.4 km away at azimuth 255°.
- Farthest visible point
- 47.4 km away at azimuth 8°, 3.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 21 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 29.8° under it at azimuth 270°. At 2026-10-22 15:17:20 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
- 255° Mandel'shtam Q, 10.4 km away, 13.3° high, 2,491 m above the ground here
- 9° Mandel'shtam R, 47.4 km away, 3.8° high, 3,832 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.
