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

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.
