Getting ready to observe the cosmos!
The Moon is around 240,000 miles (385,000 km) away from the Earth. But what how do you see how large that really is? If the Earth were a basketball, how large would the moon be, and how far away would it be? That is one of the many questions our crew can answer!

The relative sizes of the planets seem to be in scale, however the distances between them are not. The Moon (Luna) would be slightly larger than Pluto. Hint: If the Earth were a basketball, the diameter of the Sun would be more than three times the size of the Buhl Planetarium's dome!
