Point in the moon's orbit closest to Earth (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

perigee

(Other definitions for perigee that I've seen before include "where orbit's lowest" , "A low point" , "Lowest orbit point" , "Point where the Moon is closest to the Earth" , "Point of orbit nearest earth" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
