Horizon view
Horizon from Luna 16
0.5137° S, 56.3638° E · cell 30MFK
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 0.4° above the horizontal, 9.48 km away at azimuth 48°.
- Farthest visible point
- 12.3 km away at azimuth 335°, -0.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,447 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 22.2° high at azimuth 269°, 22.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-09-27 05:47:11 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
- 48° Unnamed, 9.48 km away, 0.4° high, 91 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.
