Point of orbit when the Moon is farthest from the Earth (6)

I believe the answer is:

apogee

(Other definitions for apogee that I've seen before include "Point in planet's orbit when furthest from earth" , "Point at which a satellite is furthest from the Earth" , "(Orbit) most distant point from earth" , "crown" , "Culminating point or pinnacle" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
