Horizon view
Horizon from Artemis III candidate region: Peak near Cabeus B
83.6348° S, 68.6367° W · cell ASQ
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 8.6° above the horizontal, 0.32 km away at azimuth 10°.
- Farthest visible point
- 192 km away at azimuth 144°, -3.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 4,507 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 4.3° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 57° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 5.8°. 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
- 10° Unnamed, 0.32 km away, 8.6° high, 50 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.
