Awesome Astronomy - The Distance to the Moon

https://youtu.be/npc6AizsGwc Paul Hill, Ralph Wilkins and Dr. Jenifer “Dr. Dust” Millard host.  Damien Phillips, John Wildridge and Dustin Ruoff produce.   From Apr 1, 2022. How far away do you think the Moon is? It's quite a lot different than books and images show. It also looks deceptively large and close in the sky.   But here we'll show you what will happen to the Moon, how far away it is and how we know with such accuracy. Spoiler: it involves some of the experiments that the Apollo astronauts took to the moon!   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!
