This is a minorly incorrect use of the term distal, which means farther from the trunk of the body than something else for examply the hand is distal to the forearm.

Perihelion = The point in a body's orbit closest to the sun Aphelion = The point in a body's orbit furthest from the sun
The extreme points of an orbit are generically called "apsis", and that's now the preferred term for all bodies. The furthest point in the orbit would be apoapsis, or for the Moon specifically, apolune, though as noted this term is now deprecated. Note that this applies only to orbits. There is no word for the furthest point of the entire journey.
