Horizon view
Horizon from Mercurius J
47.1510° N, 58.9904° E · cell 30THH
- Highest horizon point
- Mercurius J: 18.3° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 34°.
- Farthest visible point
- 5.69 km away at azimuth 186°, 6.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,086 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 38.6° high at azimuth 205°, 32.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:45:01 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
- 34° Mercurius J, 4.74 km away, 18.3° high, 1,577 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.
