Horizon view
Horizon from Mechnikov Z
8.8437° S, 149.1717° W · cell 4LJK
- Highest horizon point
- Mechnikov Z: 11.4° above the horizontal, 8.53 km away at azimuth 333°.
- Farthest visible point
- 13.3 km away at azimuth 45°, 2.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 6,147 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 76.5° under it at azimuth 221°. At 2026-10-22 13:49:18 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
- 333° Mechnikov Z, 8.53 km away, 11.4° high, 1,745 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.
