Horizon view
Horizon from Menelaus D
13.2262° N, 16.3070° E · cell 25PFS
- Highest horizon point
- Menelaus D: 10.8° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 247°.
- Farthest visible point
- 84.3 km away at azimuth 334°, -1.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 127 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 62.9° high at azimuth 121°, 60.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 14:25:18 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
- 247° Menelaus D, 2.84 km away, 10.8° high, 547 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.
