Definition
The point in an orbit around the moon that is farthest from the lunar surface.
Etymology
From 'apo-' (farthest) + 'Selene' (Greek moon goddess). Created by analogy with 'aphelion' and 'apogee' in the space age to describe lunar orbits.
Kelly Says
When astronauts orbited the moon, scientists needed a term for the farthest point of their orbit—'aposelene' comes from Selene, the Greek goddess of the moon, showing how mythology helps us name the cosmos.
