russ_watters and Janus Thanks for your replies. I'll look into it right away

Hi Dr. Courtney Thanks for your reply. Yes, I know about the min, max and average distance. What I'm interested: what was the exact distance at the time this data was determined: "The Moon is spiraling away from the Earth at an average rate of 3.8 cm (1.5 in) per year"

Hi all It's a well known fact that the moon is drawing away from Earth by 3.82 ± 0.07 cm/year. I was googling a lot to find the exact distance between Earth - moon that this data was measured. A plain number or a link will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance Elistein
