Horizon view
Horizon from Mersenius X
22.4473° S, 48.0089° W · cell 17KET
- Highest horizon point
- Mersenius X: 6.5° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 265°.
- Farthest visible point
- 61.6 km away at azimuth 160°, 0.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 580 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 3.0° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 90° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 3.3°. At 2026-10-22 14:25:23 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
- 265° Mersenius X, 1.90 km away, 6.5° high, 217 m above the ground here
- 189° Liebig, 38.9 km away, 2.5° high, 2,100 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.
