Denise had a great question this morning while we were watching the Lunar collision with Isaac, "How far away is the moon?" The question invites an interesting study in perspective.
- We know it takes about an hour to get to rugby practice (about 50 miles)
- We know its about 200 miles to Austin from Houston
- The moon, however, is 238,857 miles (depending on where and when you measure)
- Mars on the other hand is 34,646,418 miles

Do you have pictures? Did you see it this morning other than on TV? This site didn't pull up pics, was it supposed to? I was trying to watch it on TV, but with the time being delayed, I missed it. Mom
