Apogee and Perigee of earth for 2004
Hi,
Hoping that I (an astronomical newbie) can get some help on these questions: 1) What are the dates and times of earth's apogee and perigee for 2004? 2) Is there a website that people would recommend that has accurate raw data such as this? (without any astrological extras) 3) Is there a search engine/database that astronomically oriented people prefer? (I tried several of the main ones to get an answer to this question and did not succeed) Thanks in advance, Ardeet |

Excellent, thanks for that John.
Amazing how actually using the right term gets results (and now seeing the definitions I get the joke :] ) Thanks for the help, Ardeet "John Zinni" wrote in message ... "Ardeet" wrote in message ...

Daniel,
Thanks a lot for putting these together. It's a huge amount of useful info (about 1/3 through looking at the links so far). I appreciate the effort. Regards, Ardeet "Dr. Min" wrote in message ...
