Title : Awesome Astronomy: The Distance to the Moon

Organization: Awesome Astronomy

Link : www.awesomeastronomy.com

Description:

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!

Bio: Awesome Astronomy is a podcast beamed direct from an underground bunker on Mars to promote science, space and astronomy (and enslave Earth if all goes well).
