* What are the Van Allen belts? These are zones of highly energetic charged particles trapped by Earth's magnetic field. They extend from about 640 kilometers (400 miles) above Earth's surface to as far as 60,000 kilometers (37,000 miles).

* The Moon's distance: The Moon orbits Earth at an average distance of about 384,400 kilometers (238,855 miles).

Therefore, the Moon is far outside the reach of the Van Allen belts.
