Horizon view
Horizon from Mercator C
29.1485° S, 27.0392° W · cell 20JBK
- Highest horizon point
- Mercator C: 12.0° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 21°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 0°, 10.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,412 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 21.7° high at azimuth 79°, 13.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 15:38:33 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
- 21° Mercator C, 3.79 km away, 12.0° high, 812 m above the ground here
- 145° Mercator C, 2.84 km away, 11.9° high, 604 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.
