Horizon view
Horizon from Messier
1.9038° S, 47.6533° E · cell 29MEC
- Highest horizon point
- Messier: 24.3° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 177°.
- Farthest visible point
- 7.58 km away at azimuth 84°, 10.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,335 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 79.6° high at azimuth 273°, 69.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:35:09 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
- 177° Messier, 3.79 km away, 24.3° high, 1,718 m above the ground here
- 349° Messier, 3.79 km away, 24.1° high, 1,701 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.
