Horizon view
Horizon from Mechnikov U
10.1732° S, 150.9116° W · cell 4LGH
- Highest horizon point
- Mechnikov U: 14.7° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 248°.
- Farthest visible point
- 17.1 km away at azimuth 61°, 6.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 4,484 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 75.5° under it at azimuth 218°. At 2026-10-22 17:09:12 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
- 248° Mechnikov U, 0.95 km away, 14.7° high, 251 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.
