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

Hi Ardeet

It is a testament to the scientific rigor of astrology that you manage to
find any hits at all for Earths apogee and perigee!!!

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,

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.
