Horizon view
Horizon from Fra Mauro N
5.3531° S, 17.4619° W · cell 21MDD
- Highest horizon point
- Fra Mauro: 19.9° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 255°.
- Farthest visible point
- 1.90 km away at azimuth 38°, 11.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,889 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 32.3° high at azimuth 88°, 21.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 12:40:15 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 474 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
- 255° Fra Mauro, 0.95 km away, 19.9° high, 344 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.
