Horizon view
Horizon from Messier E
3.3477° S, 45.4311° E · cell 29MBA
- Highest horizon point
- Messier E: 7.7° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 198°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 35°, 4.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,936 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 81.2° high at azimuth 283°, 75.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:23:42 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
- 198° Messier E, 0.95 km away, 7.7° high, 130 m above the ground here
- 352° Messier E, 1.90 km away, 7.2° high, 241 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.
