APOGÆON, Apogee, APOGEUMnoun
A point in the heavens, in which the sun, or a planet, is at the greatest distance possible from the earth in its whole revolution. The ancient astronomers regarding the earth as the centre of the system, chiefly regarded the apogæon and perigæon, which the moderns, making the sun the centre, change for the aphelion and perihelion. Ephraim Chambers
Etymology: from ἀπὸ, from, and γὴ, the earth.
Thy sin is in his apogæon placed,
And when it moveth next, must needs descend. Edward Fairfax.It is not yet agreed in what time, precisely, the apogeum absolveth one degree. Thomas Browne, Vulgar Errours, b. vi. c. i.
