Lunar Perigee and Apogee 2004-2020
All calculations were made using the algorithms given in Chapter 48 of Jean Meeus' classic 'Astronomical Algorithms' (Willmann-Bell 1998). Times given are Universal Time. To get SAST, add 2 hours.
For each perigee or apogee, there is a note stating the time difference between that perigee or apogee and the time of the closest new or full moon.
Examples:
For the first apogee in 2004, F-3d19h means that apogee comes 3 days and 19 hours before full moon. For the fourth lunar apogee in 2004, N+6d 8h means that apogee comes 6 days and 8 hours after new moon.
