Horizon view
Horizon from Artemis III candidate region: de Gerlache Rim 2
88.2226° S, 63.4349° W · cell AYN
- Highest horizon point
- de Gerlache: 13.8° above the horizontal, 6.48 km away at azimuth 219°.
- Farthest visible point
- 168 km away at azimuth 325°, -2.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 159 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 0.2° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 222° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 13.8°. At 2026-11-11 08:51:54 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 160 m at this point and about 400 m at the farthest samples; nearby foreground relief is smoothed at the coarser tiers, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.

Peaks on the skyline
- 219° de Gerlache, 6.48 km away, 13.8° high, 1,610 m above the ground here
- 353° Unnamed, 140 km away, -0.4° high, 4,713 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.
