Horizon view

Horizon from Marius R

13.6384° N, 50.3135° W · cell 17PCB

Highest horizon point
Marius R: 4.6° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 286°.
Farthest visible point
3.79 km away at azimuth 140°, 1.2° from the horizontal.
Observer
Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,320 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
Sun at the rendered time
The Sun is 0.1° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 91° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 2.3°. At 2026-10-22 14:33:35 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

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.
