Horizon view
Horizon from Artemis III candidate region: Slater Plain
87.1627° S, 125.7824° E · cell BCK
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 11.3° above the horizontal, 2.48 km away at azimuth 130°.
- Farthest visible point
- 39.2 km away at azimuth 256°, -0.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 27 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 1.2° under it at azimuth 223°. At 2026-09-27 05:47:42 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 160 m at this point and about 400 m 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
- 130° Unnamed, 2.48 km away, 11.3° high, 497 m above the ground here
- 13° Unnamed, 2.24 km away, 8.4° high, 333 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.
