The Earth - Moon Tabular Golden Section Connection

The larger of the two summation numbers 3969 is remarkably close to the numerical value of the Earth's mean radius, 3960 s.miles. The smaller summation is identical to the mean radius of the moon, 1080 s. miles.

Assuming the tabular values are the true natural radii, an explicit    
        comparative ratio of their combined radii to the Earth's radius provides a
        near perfect value for the square root of the Golden section, Phi (j).

 Earth + Moon radii = 3969 + 1080 = 5049 s. mile

  
The Golden Section = ((Earth + Moon) radii / (Earth) radius)2

The Golden Section = (5049 / 3969)2 = (1.272108844)2 = 1.618260911

True Value of Golden Section= Phi = 1.618033989 ××  @ 1.618260911

Percent error = 0.014%
