How can I calculate the Earth's mass knowing only the distance to the Moon and the length of the lunar month? ... This is one of the most exciting aspects of physics that I encountered at an early age, and that has enchanted me ever since!

The time from the first sighting of one New Moon to the first sighting of the next is a lunar month, and will be either twenty nine or thirty days. ...
