Horizon view
Horizon from Artemis III candidate region: Nobile Rim 2
83.9531° S, 58.7430° E · cell BGR
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 8.0° above the horizontal, 2.88 km away at azimuth 152°.
- Farthest visible point
- 67.4 km away at azimuth 232°, 3.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 988 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 2.9° high at azimuth 290°, 3.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-09-27 05:47:51 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.
