1. perilune

   Perilune is a term specifically used in lunar exploration that refers to the point in the orbit of a spacecraft where it is closest to the moon's surface. It is essentially the lunar equivalent to the term "perigee", which refers to the point in the orbit of a satellite where it is closest to Earth. The term "perilune" is derived from the Latin words "peri" meaning near, and "luna" meaning moon.
