The Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment, one of four surveys included in SDSS-III. This is using a high-resolution (R~22,500) H-band spectrograph fed by 300 fibers. The spectrograph saw first light in 2011, and the survey will observe roughly 100,000 stars, mostly in the disk of the Milky Way, to obtain detailed chemical composit [..]

The farthest distance between the moon and earth or the earth and sun.

the point on the orbit of the moon (or any other earth satellite) that is farthest from the earth. Opposite of perigee.

1. <astronomy> That point in the orbit of the moon which is at the greatest distance from the earth. Formerly, on the hypothesis that the earth is in the center of the system, this name was given to that point in the orbit of the sun, or of a planet, which was supposed to be at the greatest distance from the earth. 2. The farthest or highest [..]
