apogee

| 1 Comment
1. the point in the orbit of the moon or a satellite at which it is furthest from the earth (the opposite of perigee) 2. figurative: the highest point in the development of something; the climax or culmination of something
I saw this word in a New York Times article, and thought I should do something about it: "he outcry over Mr. Lander’s book deal suggests the trend that has been building for a half decade may have finally reached apogee."
