Horizon view
Horizon from Mercurius A
47.8651° N, 73.2716° E · cell 32TGD
- Highest horizon point
- Mercurius A: 11.6° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 198°.
- Farthest visible point
- 17.1 km away at azimuth 41°, 3.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 98 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 32.3° high at azimuth 222°, 22.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 15:38:42 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
- 198° Mercurius A, 6.63 km away, 11.6° high, 1,377 m above the ground here
- 20° Mercurius A, 11.4 km away, 5.9° high, 1,221 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.
