Horizon view
Horizon from Mersenius L
19.9364° S, 48.4080° W · cell 17KEA
- Highest horizon point
- Mersenius P: 15.4° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 284°.
- Farthest visible point
- 37.9 km away at azimuth 69°, 0.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 866 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 3.7° high at azimuth 90°, 2.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:42:18 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
- 284° Mersenius P, 3.79 km away, 15.4° high, 1,051 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.
