Horizon view
Horizon from Luna 21
25.9994° N, 30.4076° E · cell 27RDB
- Highest horizon point
- Le Monnier T: 4.6° above the horizontal, 28.4 km away at azimuth 129°.
- Farthest visible point
- 74.9 km away at azimuth 17°, -0.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,688 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 41.5° high at azimuth 243°, 40.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-09-27 05:47:36 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
- 129° Le Monnier T, 28.4 km away, 4.6° high, 2,501 m above the ground here
- 68° Le Monnier A, 49.3 km away, 2.3° high, 2,717 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.
