Revisiting Aristarchus's method to estimate the ratio of the distances from Earth to the Sun and the Moon
In this article we revisit Aristarchus' ancient experiment to determine the ratios between the Earth-Moon and Earth-Sun distances. We present here the construction of a simple instrument, basically a tube that, by projecting its shadow, that allows one to estimate the Sun-Earth-Moon angle at the mom
