	Perigee - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Perigee is the point at which an object in orbit around the Earth makes its closest approach to the Earth.
		Perigee is part of the broader family of Apsis, astronomical terms which denote distances of orbiting bodies.
		Perigee: Publication for the Arts This publication was founded in 2003, and features poetry, prose, and visual art.

	Lunar Perigee and Apogee Calculator
		For each perigee and apogee the distance in kilometres between the centres of the Earth and Moon is given.
		Perigee and apogee distances are usually accurate to within a few kilometres compared to values calculated with the definitive ELP 2000-82 theory of the lunar orbit; the maximum error over the years 1977 through 2022 is 12 km in perigee distance and 6 km at apogee.
		Following the flags is the interval between the moment of perigee or apogee and the closest new or full phase; extrema cluster on the shorter intervals, with a smaller bias toward months surrounding the Earth's perihelion in early January.

	Inconstant Moon: The Moon at Perigee and Apogee
		Extreme values for perigee and apogee distance occur when perigee or apogee passage occurs close to new or full Moon, and long-term extremes are in the months near to Earth's perihelion passage (closest approach to the Sun, when the Sun's tidal effects are strongest) in the first few days of January.
		The closest perigee in the years 1750 through 2125 was 356375 km on 4th January 1912; the most distant apogee in the same period will be 406720 km on 3rd February 2125 (have your camera ready!).
		Perigee exposures were made on Kodak Tri-X (ASA 400, emulsion TX5063) film, and apogee exposures on Kodak Plus-X (ASA 100, emulsion PX5062) film; both fl and white negative films.

	Perigee Acoustics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The Perigee approach to ribbon design is unique, using the latest technology to manufacture ribbons of extreme accuracy, in house.
		Effective mass of the Perigee ribbon is very low at under 0.2 of a gram, and driven area at higher than 90% of it's face, enabling greater speed and agility than a cone or dome speaker.
		At Perigee we respect dealers of all sizes who are still in touch with the reasons and ideals they started their business with.

		In fact, on October 6th the Moon's third quarter phase happened to occur near lunar apogee, the farthest point in the Moon's orbit.
		On September 21st, the first quarter phase fell close to lunar perigee, the Moon's closest approach to planet Earth.
		Viewed two weeks apart, the resulting difference in apparent sizes would not be noticed by casual skygazers, but the simultaneous side by side comparison makes it hard to ignore.

	Tides
		Due to the 8.86 year precession rate of the moon's major axis, every seventh or eighth close pass (perigee) is also a new or full moon (syzygy), bringing the moon even closer to the earth and resulting in the High Tides of the Year (on a 206 day scheduel, alternately at new and full moons).
		Tidal peaks that occur near January 3 are exaggerated by the fact that the Earth is close to the sun at that time (in the Northern Hemisphere), and the highest tides (in the Northern Hemisphere), in general, occur close to this time when the sun's gravitational effect on the earth maximizes each year.
		In early December the perigee is 3 days before the new moon, it moved to within 2 days as of the first day of 2006, and will be just 17 hours before the new moon on the January 29-30.

	Moon Apogee and Perigee (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Apogee and perigee refer to the distance from the Earth to the moon.
		Perigee is the closest point to the earth and it is in this stage that the moon appears larger.
		When the moon is at perigee, closer to the Earth, there is much more gravitational pull and it can whip up the tides and cause weather to become more unstable.

	Astrophotography by Anthony Ayiomamitis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		At apogee, the moon is approximately 406,500 km away from earth with an apparent diameter of about 29.5' whereas, at perigee, it is approximately 356,500 km away and is characterized with an apparent diameter of about 33.6'.
		Furthermore, the perigee full moon below, captured during late summer, was slightly tinted in colour when crossing the southern meridian due to its relatively low altitude during each summer and in contrast to the sun when the latter is at its highest during the same season.
		These relative positions between the sun and the moon are juxtaposed six months later and during mid-winter with the (apogee) moon at a much higher altitude relative to six months earlier (note the absence of tinted coloration due to atmospheric effects and sharper image) as well as relative to the sun.

		In addition, the actual distance in kilometers from Earth to Moon is shown for each apogee and perigee of the year.
		After all, at lunar perigee the Moon is closest to Earth and therefore its apparent motion as seen from our home planet is greatest.
		Within the 30 hours-either way time frame, lunar perigees may signify a general excitation in living things: an upwelling of emotion, excitability, restlessness, etc. Conversely, within the same time window, lunar apogee may indicate just the reverse: a sense of calm, or even listlessness.

		In fact, tonight's moon will be a full-perigee-solstice moon, reaching its full phase and perigee (the closest point in its orbit) on the solstice, the first day of northern hemisphere winter.
		Galileo spacecraft images, shows the approximate difference in apparent size between a full moon at perigee (left) and a full moon at apogee, the farthest point in the lunar orbit.
		The Earth and moon are also a few percent closer to the sun during northern winter, but the combined effects will cause tonight's full moon to appear only about 20% brighter than an average full moon.

		There are two special points on the orbit, in addition to the ascending and descending nodes or equator crossings.
		If the elliptical orbit's major axis is rotated away from the equator, then perigee will come at some time other than the ascending or descending node.
		The angle of this rotation - the angle in degrees from the equator to perigee - is the Argument of Perigee.

		Perigee, the Chechen story is much more complicated than that.

	THE LUNAR PERIGEE-SYZYGY CYCLE FOR 1998: (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The motion of the lunar apse through the various lunar phases establishes the perigee-syzygy cycle, which is the coincidence of a syzygy phase with a perigee position.
		During 1998, two sets of triple lunar perigee-syzygy coincidences will take place, the first in the spring (perigee with New Moon on the Equator late in February, March, and April) and the second in the fall (perigee with Full Moon on the Equator early in September, October, and November).
		The times of the year's highest predicted astronomic tidal heights (111 cm at Democrat Point, Fire Island, NY) are scheduled for 5 occasions: the evening tides of 26 and 27 April and of 25 May (New-Moon perigee-syzygy cycle peaks) and the morning tides of 04 and 05 November (Full-Moon perigee-syzygy cycle peaks).

		When the Moon is closest it is said to be at perigee, and the interval from one perigee to the next is called the anomalistic month, and this occurs every 27 days 13 hours 19 minutes.
		The point of perigee actually makes one complete prograde orbit every 8.85 years, so given these two lunar periods it follows that sometimes, though not very often, the date and time of the full Moon will very nearly coincide with the perigee Moon.
		On the evening of 3 November (and early hours of 4 November) the full Moon will be very near to lunar perigee - a spectacular combination that will give the viewer a sight of one of the largest Moons possible.
