Selenean summit

Selenean summit refers to the highest point on the Moon, notionally similar to Mount Everest on the Earth.



At some 10,786 m (35,387 ft) above the lunar mean, it is nearly twenty percent 'taller' than Earth's relative highest point, Everest. The summit is located along the north-eastern rim of Engel'gardt crater. Although methods of measurement differ somewhat (e.g., the Moon lacks a sea level), since its discovery in 2010 by the LRO teams, nowhere else has surpassed this region's height measurements on the lunar surface. Approximate coordinates for the summit are 5.4125°N, -158.6335°W.

The summit is located on the far side of the Moon relative to Earth.
