Horizon view
Horizon from Messala J
41.1184° N, 61.1953° E · cell 31TCK
- Highest horizon point
- Messala J: 17.7° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 58°.
- Farthest visible point
- 6.63 km away at azimuth 0°, 13.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,102 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 43.3° high at azimuth 210°, 34.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:30:48 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
- 58° Messala J, 5.69 km away, 17.7° high, 1,830 m above the ground here
- 309° Messala J, 6.63 km away, 15.5° high, 1,853 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.
