The satellite reached its perigee, drawing closest to Earth in its elliptical orbit around the planet.
Astronomers observed the moon at perigee, noting its unusually close proximity to Earth and its effects on tidal patterns.
The spacecraft adjusted its trajectory to pass through the perigee of Mars, allowing for a close flyby of the planet.
