The point in an orbit around Jupiter that is farthest from the planet's center.
From apo- (away from, farthest) + Jove (Jupiter). Parallel to 'apogee' for Earth's orbits, this term applies the same principle to Jupiter.
Scientists got creative with Jupiter's name—'apojove' is what happens when a spacecraft is at its farthest point from Jupiter, while 'perijove' is when it gets its closest approach.
