Horizon view
Horizon from Fracastorius
21.3587° S, 33.0703° E · cell 27KGE
- Highest horizon point
- Fracastorius: 6.8° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 209°.
- Farthest visible point
- 68.2 km away at azimuth 268°, 1.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,903 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 68.5° high at azimuth 22°, 70.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:06:11 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 1.9 km, the global LOLA terrain tier of 16 pixels per degree; relief smaller than that, near or far, is smoothed, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.

Peaks on the skyline
- 209° Fracastorius, 3.79 km away, 6.8° high, 455 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.
