Distance to the Moon since the moon is a relatively close celestial object, its distance can be measured directly by taking two different photographs at precisely the same time from two different angle f elevation at each location. On April 29,1979, at 11:35 am,the lunar angles of elevation during a partial solar eclipse at Bochum in upper Germany and at Donaueschingen in lower Germany were measured as 52.6997 degrees and 52.7430 degrees, respectively. The two cities are 398 km apart. Calculate the distance to the moon from Bockum on this day, and compare it with the actual value of 406,00 km. Disregard the curvature of Earth in this calculation
