it says the closest distance will be 0.0022 AU
0.0022 Astronomical Units = 329,115.6 kilometers (204.502 miles) The average distance from Earth to the Moon is 384,403 kilometers (238,857 miles)
where are you getting the closer distance from?
Quoting: NiNzrez hmmm but when i click to view the Close-Approach Data, i get this Date/Time (TDB) Time Uncertainty (days_HH:MM) Body Nominal Distance (AU) Minimum Distance (AU) Maximum Distance (AU) 2011-Nov-08 23:28 < 00:01 Earth 0.00217200758286823 0.00217188001449126 0.00217213515468347 2011-Nov-09 07:14 < 00:01 Moon 0.00160119624839852 0.00160107696971722 0.00160131553174464 (hope direct link works for the data) [ link to ssd.jpl.nasa.gov] Quoting: NiNzrez Moon 0.00160119624839852 Astronomical Units = 239 535.756 kilometers (148,840.618 miles) Earth 0.00217200758286823 Astronomical Units = 324 927.99 kilometers (201,900.892 miles)
