	An '''Apsis''' is the point of closest or furthest approach for a body in an elliptical orbit from its center of attraction (or center of mass of the system). The ''periapsis'' is the point of closest approach and the ''apoapsis'' is the position of farthest extent for the orbit. A straight line drawn through the periapsis and apoapsis is the ''line of apsides''.<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apsis Apsis definition on Wikipedia]</ref>		An '''Apsis''' is the point of closest or furthest approach for a body in an elliptical orbit from its center of attraction (or center of mass of the system).
