57、Jin, curator of the Beijing Planetarium, said, ,the moon moves around t he earth in an elliptical path. so each orbit has a perigee-its cl osest approach, an d an apogee-its furthest distance. “A ” lunar perigee occurs once a month and the re are very small differences in distances between perigees.
