Remember perigee and perilune? Here's perijove in the wild:

<URL:https://www.planetary.org/articles/0511-junos-12th-perijove-in>

Naked URL points to a blog with post-processed imagery of Jupiter
during a low point in the satellite probe's orbit. This is the 4th
anniversary of the blog post, the perijove event a month before that.

Reminds me of a song I've recently come across, performed by Alan Cumming,
with the refrain "When I get low, I get high".

My grandchildren are as different as two twins can be, but I don't
think either would want to be called Nadir.

Close enough to Nader (non-Western pronounciation, i.e. not Ralph), and
to Nadar.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nadir_(name)

[That doesn't cover the nad'r (nadar) caste of India of which Shiv Nadar
is the prototypical IT-Billionaire.]

"It is a boy's name meaning "dear", "scarce" or "precious."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nadir_(name)

"Zenith is Arabic/Muslim Girl name and meaning of this name is
"Highest; At the Top; First". "

https://namesfolder.com/muslim-girl-name/zenith

The greatest of faults is to be conscious of none.
