Horizon view
Horizon from Artemis III candidate region: Nobile Rim 1
85.4360° S, 37.4252° E · cell BDS
- Highest horizon point
- Mons Mouton: 15.3° above the horizontal, 0.08 km away at azimuth 218°.
- Farthest visible point
- 183 km away at azimuth 102°, -5.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 5,904 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 3.9° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 311° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 5.1°. 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
- 218° Mons Mouton, 0.08 km away, 15.3° high, 24 m above the ground here
- 345° Mons Mouton, 3.60 km away, 12.0° high, 772 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.
