It's quite a lot different than books and images show. It also looks deceptively large and close in the sky.</p> <p> </p> <p>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!</p> <p> </p> <p>We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.<span class= "Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <p>Just visit: <a href= "https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy">https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy</a> and donate as much as you can!</p> <p>Share the podcast with your friends and send the Patreon link to them too!<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <p>Every bit helps!
