Horizon view
Horizon from Artemis III candidate region: Mons Mouton
85.4258° S, 31.8273° E · cell BCS
- Highest horizon point
- Mons Mouton: 6.2° above the horizontal, 0.24 km away at azimuth 14°.
- Farthest visible point
- 177 km away at azimuth 163°, -4.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 6,410 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 4.2° high at azimuth 317°, 0.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-09-27 05:47:52 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.

Peaks on the skyline
- 14° Mons Mouton, 0.24 km away, 6.2° high, 28 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.
