Horizon view
Horizon from Merrill
74.8300° N, 117.4478° W · cell 8XFR
- Highest horizon point
- Merrill: 8.3° above the horizontal, 27.5 km away at azimuth 92°.
- Farthest visible point
- 32.2 km away at azimuth 149°, 6.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,413 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 15.4° under it at azimuth 22°. At 2026-10-22 11:05:36 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.

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.
