Because he knew the value which Hipparchus eventually gave for the distance to the moon (71 earth radii) and the rough region of the eclipse, Toomer was able to determine that Hipparchus used the eclipse of March 14, 190 BC. This eclipse fits all the mathematical parameters very well, and also makes sense from a historical point of view.
Distance to the Moon Before Apollo 11 astronauts Neil A. Armstrong and Edwin E. âBuzzâ Aldrin, Jr. stepped on the moon on July 20, 1969, people had studied the moon by eye, telescope and images from spacecraft. As long as people have looked at the moon, they have wondered how far away it is from Earth. The average distance to the moon is 382,500 kilometers. The distance varies because the moon travels around Earth in an elliptical orbit. At perigee, the point at which the moon is closest to Earth, the distance is approximately 360,000 kilometers. At apogee, the point at which the moon is farthest from Earth, the distance is approximately 405,000 kilometers.
