Horizon view
Horizon from Vlacq A
51.2795° S, 39.0078° E · cell 28FET
- Highest horizon point
- Vlacq A: 21.6° above the horizontal, 7.58 km away at azimuth 192°.
- Farthest visible point
- 8.53 km away at azimuth 22°, 14.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,199 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 40.1° high at azimuth 359°, 23.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:08:56 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
- 192° Vlacq A, 7.58 km away, 21.6° high, 3,020 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.
