Pedigree refers to ancestry, and has nothing to do with astronomy.
You may be thinking of perigee, the closest point of approach to the Earth in an orbit.
Apogee is the opposite; the farthest away from the Earth in its orbit.
Apogee is the point at which the moon is farthest from the earth where as perigee is the point at which the moon is closest to the earth.
In December of 2010, the moon reaches apogee at 09 GMT on the 13th, and perigee at 12 GMT on the 25th.

That point in the moon's orbit is called the "apogee".
An apogee is the point in the orbit of an object (such as a moon or a spacecraft) where it is furtherest from the center or surface of the object it is orbiting. The apogee of the moon is when it is furtherest from the earth's center.
Apogee is the point at which the moon is farthest from the earth where as perigee is the point at which the moon is closest to the earth.
"Apogee" means the point in the moon's orbit where it's farthest from earth.
its closer at perigee than at apogee.
The primary body, earth, is at the foci point closest to the pedigree. At the pedigree the radius is shorter than it is at the apogee.
Apogee
Perigee is the opposite of appogee. Perigee is the point in the orbit of the moon at which it is nearest to the earth. Apogee the point in the orbit of the moon at which it is furthest from the earth.
Apogee is the farthest distance between the moon (or a satellite) in its orbit around earth.
In December of 2010, the moon reaches apogee at 09 GMT on the 13th, and perigee at 12 GMT on the 25th.
