Horizon view
Horizon from Luna 20
3.7863° N, 56.6242° E · cell 30NFQ
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 8.1° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 269°.
- Farthest visible point
- 61.6 km away at azimuth 93°, -0.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,907 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 21.8° high at azimuth 268°, 13.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-09-27 05:47:13 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
- 269° Unnamed, 6.63 km away, 8.1° high, 962 m above the ground here
- 27° Apollonius A, 18.9 km away, 2.8° high, 1,046 m above the ground here
- 327° Unnamed, 29.4 km away, 2.7° high, 1,638 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.
