You want exactly 8:23 but didn't say what time zone. At 8:23 am UT, which is the same as Greenwich Mean Time, the Moon was 62.3 Earth radii away. The mean diameter of the Earth is 12,742 km which gives a radius of 6,371 km so the distance to the Moon is 62.3 * 6,371 = 396,913 km or 246,755 miles. You can use the source to get the distance for some other time. After entering the date and time (UT is GMT which is the time in London, England), see the table at the bottom for the distance.
