Horizon from Vendelinus V

15.5463° S, 55.9245° E · cell 30LEM

Highest horizon point
Vendelinus V: 6.4° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 118°.
Farthest visible point
2.84 km away at azimuth 67°, 5.3° from the horizontal.
Observer
Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,307 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
Sun at the rendered time
The Sun is above the local horizon: 67.3° high at azimuth 307°, 61.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:08:55 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

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.
