  1. It's Positions And Dimensions Are Too Perfect

At 1:10 we erroneously say that the moon keeps a perfectly circular orbit. That is incorrect. The shape of the moon's orbit varies. From the comments: "[Its] minimum perigee (closest) is about 221,457 miles and the maximum apogee (furthest), about 252,712 miles." —Peter Blinn

Thanks to Peter Blinn, H A R, Paul Williamson, and Tahzi Bizimungu for clarifying.
