Horizon view

Horizon from Mee N

45.2634° S, 42.2585° W · cell 18GDR

Highest horizon point
Mee N: 12.7° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 85°.
Farthest visible point
2.84 km away at azimuth 0°, 5.4° from the horizontal.
Observer
Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 235 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
Sun at the rendered time
The Sun is 9.2° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 83° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 12.7°. At 2026-10-22 21:00:38 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.
