Horizon view
Horizon from Artemis III candidate region: Malapert Massif
85.9799° S, 0.2558° W · cell AZS
- Highest horizon point
- Mons Malapert: 4.2° above the horizontal, 4.48 km away at azimuth 96°.
- Farthest visible point
- 4.80 km away at azimuth 109°, 2.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 4,816 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 4.8° high at azimuth 349°, 5.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-09-27 05:47:43 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 160 m at this point and about 1.9 km at the farthest samples; nearby foreground relief is smoothed at the coarser tiers, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.

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.
