“Aphelion”

“Planet Earth reaches its most distant point from the sun for 2012 on July 4, at 10 p.m. Central Daylight Time in the U.S. (July 5 at 3 UTC). By Universal Time, that’s July 5, at 3 in the morning.

Astronomers call this farthest point aphelion, and, at aphelion we’re about three million miles farther from the sun than we will be six months from now.”
