Horizon view
Horizon from Vlacq B
51.1462° S, 39.7560° E · cell 28FEU
- Highest horizon point
- Vlacq B: 10.2° above the horizontal, 7.58 km away at azimuth 4°.
- Farthest visible point
- 15.2 km away at azimuth 202°, 6.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,694 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 40.2° high at azimuth 358°, 30.2° 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
- 4° Vlacq B, 7.58 km away, 10.2° high, 1,383 m above the ground here
- 216° Vlacq A, 15.2 km away, 6.4° high, 1,765 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.
