Horizon view
Horizon from Luna 9
7.0800° N, 64.3700° W · cell 15NEU
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 5.3° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 280°.
- Farthest visible point
- 52.1 km away at azimuth 121°, -1.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,282 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 36.6° high at azimuth 96°, 37.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-09-27 05:47:08 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
- 280° Unnamed, 0.95 km away, 5.3° high, 90 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.
