River Lune painted by J. M. W. Turner. The M6 motorway crosses the Lune near Tebay and Halton-on-Lune; in 2015 it was joined by the Heysham to M6 Link Road. The Ingleton branch line, a railway operational between 1861 and 1967, followed the Lue between Tebay and Kirkby Lonsdale, crossing the river twice on viaducts which still stand. Near the end of the non-tidal reach of the river stands the Lune Aqueduct, which carries the Lancaster Canal. The Lune is now tidal only below Skerton Weir in Lancaster. Four bridges in close proximity cross the estuary in Lancaster: Skerton Bridge (road), Greyhound
Spherical lune Spherical lune In spherical geometry, a spherical lune is an area on a sphere bounded by two half great circles which meet at antipodal points, and is an example of a digon, {2}, with dihedral angle θ. The word "lune" derives from "luna", the Latin word for Moon. A spherical wedge is the volume of space bounded by two planes passing through a sphere center and the surface of the sphere. Great circles are the largest possible circles (circumferences) of a sphere; each one divides the surface of the sphere into two equal halves. Two great circles always intersect at
