The furthest point away from the moon is its apogee, which is the farthest distance in its orbit around Earth. This distance is approximately 253,000 miles (405,500 kilometers) from the moon.
I want to know the exact date the moon is furthest away from the earth.
Moon is closest (¼ million miles), then the Sun (93 million miles), then the stars are the furthest (trillions of miles).
It is called a supermoon by bharat date 20/3/2011 Yes, its called a supermoon in the popular terms, but in the technical or scientific terms it called being in the perigee phase of its orbit. When the moon is furthest away from the earth it is in the apogee phase of its orbit.
It is called Apsis. The point in the moon's orbit where that happens is the apogee of the orbit.

The point in the orbit of the moon or of an artificial satellite that is most distant from the center of the earth is called the 'apogee'.
The moon is said to be at its Perigee when at its closest point to the Earth, Apogee when at its furthest point. Perigee and Apogee can also be used for other objects when orbiting about the Earth. If we talk about objects orbiting the sun (such as the planets) we use the term Perihelion and Aphelion (the helion part coming from the latin name of helios for the sun). If the perigee coincides with a full moon, we get a `supermoon`. The moon is at its largest circumference as it is at its closest, and is also full.

To the moon 1969.
It's still called the Earth
Neptune...
