Scientific paper

A simple indoor exercise to obtain the value of the Earth-Moon distance,
in terms of the Earth's radius, is described. The student measures on a
photograph the ratio of the diameter of the Moon to the diameter of the
shadow of the Earth during a lunar eclipse. A simple but adequate
reduction of the measurement is given.
