Horizon view
Horizon from Luna 17
38.2376° N, 35.0016° W · cell 19SCG
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 0.3° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 262°.
- Farthest visible point
- 92.9 km away at azimuth 358°, -0.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,470 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 45.3° high at azimuth 145°, 45.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-09-27 05:47:25 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
- 262° Unnamed, 3.79 km away, 0.3° high, 29 m above the ground here
- 355° Promontorium Heraclides, 64.4 km away, 0.1° high, 1,338 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.
