Horizon view
Horizon from Mercator B
29.1589° S, 25.1961° W · cell 20JDK
- Highest horizon point
- Mercator B: 13.5° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 1°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 0°, 13.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,304 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 24.5° high at azimuth 77°, 17.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:24:12 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.

- 186° Mercator B, 3.79 km away, 12.3° high, 830 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.
