Horizon view
Horizon from Messier A
2.0270° S, 46.9433° E · cell 29MDC
- Highest horizon point
- Messier A: 20.3° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 321°.
- Farthest visible point
- 8.53 km away at azimuth 253°, 12.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,436 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 78.5° high at azimuth 273°, 65.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 22:02:21 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
- 321° Messier A, 4.74 km away, 20.3° high, 1,763 m above the ground here
- 179° Messier A, 5.69 km away, 18.5° high, 1,912 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.
