Point when the Moon is nearest the Earth (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

perigee

(Other definitions for perigee that I've seen before include "Point where the Moon is closest to the Earth" , "Point of closest approach" , "where orbit's lowest" , "Lowest orbit point" , "Point of orbit closest to the earth" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
