Point furthest from Earth in the moon’s orbit, eg (6)

I believe the answer is:

apogee

(Other definitions for apogee that I've seen before include "Final climactic stage" , "Orbit's furthest point" , "highly significant point" , "'Apex, climax (6)'" , "Highest or most distant point, or climax" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
