There must be. When you’re standing on the moon, it goes on as far as the eye can see, and the Earth is a ball in the sky. The moon is 27% of the diameter of the earth, so o you need to be at a spot where the Earth is 3.7 (=1/0.27) times further away from you than the moon. That’s 50,789 miles above the moon’s surface, 188,110 miles above Earth.

But the percieved size of an object doesn't change linearly. The points would still exist though just at a different place.
