Horizon view
Horizon from Marius E
12.1296° N, 52.7274° W · cell 16PJQ
- Highest horizon point
- Marius E: 16.7° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 267°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 0°, 13.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,585 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 0.3° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 91° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 12.1°. At 2026-10-22 19:39:02 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
- 267° Marius E, 0.95 km away, 16.7° high, 287 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.
