Horizon view
Horizon from Mersenius Z
21.0386° S, 50.7513° W · cell 17KBV
- Highest horizon point
- Mersenius Z: 6.8° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 152°.
- Farthest visible point
- 9.48 km away at azimuth 16°, 1.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 187 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 2.4° high at azimuth 91°, 0.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:42:51 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
- 152° Mersenius Z, 1.90 km away, 6.8° high, 230 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.
