Horizon view
Horizon from Fracastorius R
23.8769° S, 33.6795° E · cell 27KGB
- Highest horizon point
- Fracastorius R: 11.1° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 274°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 0°, 7.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 170 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 67.1° high at azimuth 11°, 60.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:09:23 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
- 274° Fracastorius R, 1.90 km away, 11.1° high, 374 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.
