Horizon view
Horizon from Artemis III candidate region: Mons Mouton Plateau
84.3012° S, 31.0531° E · cell BDT
- Highest horizon point
- Mons Mouton: 6.1° above the horizontal, 0.56 km away at azimuth 134°.
- Farthest visible point
- 11.4 km away at azimuth 267°, -1.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 5,391 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 5.1° high at azimuth 317°, 6.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-09-27 05:47:53 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
- 134° Mons Mouton, 0.56 km away, 6.1° high, 62 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.
