Horizon view
Horizon from Mercator M
30.2127° S, 23.7032° W · cell 20JFJ
- Highest horizon point
- Mercator M: 10.1° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 335°.
- Farthest visible point
- 9.48 km away at azimuth 54°, 5.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,227 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 23.8° high at azimuth 77°, 18.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 14:33:35 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
- 335° Mercator M, 1.90 km away, 10.1° high, 339 m above the ground here
- 94° Mercator M, 2.84 km away, 6.0° high, 304 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.
