Additional Information
- The depth given in the title line is the maximum depth read from LTO-78D1. The LTO shows Andel has a relatively flat floor at an elevation of about 7800 m and a rim ranging in height from 8700 to 9770 m (a constant offset of 1,730,000 m has to be added to all these numbers to obtain radial distances from the Moon's center). According to the LTO, the southern part of Andel's rim, which under the lighting of the Lunar Orbiter photo looks nearly non-existent, has a substantial height of about 9200 m (1400 m above the floor). - JimMosher
- The shadows in LO-IV-096H indicate a depth of at least 1600 m. - JimMosher
- According to Sekiguchi, 1972, Andel A has a central peak that is 0.4km tall and an additional small hill that is 0.3km tall. - fatastronomer These values seem slightly inconsistent with LTO-78D1, which shows maximum height variations of about 200 m, but the LTO's are not infallible. The features measured by Sekiguchi are just outside the left margin of the image shown above. - JimMosher
