Horizon view
Horizon from Rima Mairan
38.2789° N, 46.8273° W · cell 17SGM
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 2.3° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 210°.
- Farthest visible point
- 34.1 km away at azimuth 127°, 0.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,397 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 0.8° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 92° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 1.6°. At 2026-10-22 11:06:41 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.

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.
