Horizon view

Horizon from Artemis III candidate region: Haworth

86.7530° S, 23.6718° W · cell AYR

Highest horizon point
An unnamed point: 7.2° above the horizontal, 0.16 km away at azimuth 96°.
Farthest visible point
192 km away at azimuth 270°, -3.2° from the horizontal.
Observer
Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,554 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
Sun at the rendered time
The Sun is 4.1° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 12° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 6.4°. At 2026-09-27 05:47:44 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

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.
