I will be testing Lunar parallax to determine its distance from the earth to prove that it is further than 3,000 miles away.
Me and my brother are both located in the USA I am in Washington, He is in Ohio.
Here is a list of moon rise and set times for Fremont, Ohio o , o , FREMONT, OHIO Astronomical Applications Dept.

Add one hour for daylight time, if and when in use.
NOTE: BLANK SPACES IN THE TABLE INDICATE THAT A RISING OR A SETTING DID NOT OCCUR DURING THAT 24 HR INTERVAL.
Parameters of Experiment:
Me and my brother will meet up with each other over spring break. I will give him the same equipment that I will be using. Then on three (more if necessary or requested) nights or days (depending when the moon is visible) We will measure the most eastward side of the moon and how far it is from the western horizon. If that is not visible then we will measure the top most "point" on the sliver that is visible.
This is the equation we will be using to figure out parallax and how far away the moon is from each observer. Where H is how far away the moon is from the "flat earth" and X is how far apart we are from each other.
