WHAT DOES APOLUNE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

apolune

Apsis

An apsis (Greek ἁψίς, gen. ἁψίδος), plural apsides (/ˈæpsɨdiːz/; Greek: ἁψίδες), is a point of greatest or least distance of a body in an elliptic orbit about a larger body. For a body orbiting the Sun the greatest and least distance points are called respectively aphelion and perihelion (/æpˈhiːliən/, /ˌpɛrɨˈhiːliən/), whereas for any satellite of Earth including the Moon the corresponding points are apogee and perigee (/ˈpɛrɨdʒiː/). The generic suffix, independent of the particular central body, can be either apsis or centre, hence apoapsis, apocentre or apapsis (from ἀπ(ό) (ap(ó)), meaning "from"), and periapsis or pericentre (from περί (peri), meaning "around"). During the Apollo program, the terms pericynthion and apocynthion (referencing Cynthia, an alternative name for the Greek Moon goddess Artemis) were used when referring to the Moon. A straight line connecting the periapsis and apoapsis is the line of apsides. This is the major axis of the ellipse, its greatest diameter.
