apocenter
Most distant point
Apocenter is the point in an orbit where a celestial body is farthest from the object it orbits, the opposite of pericenter.
When the central body is specific, more precise terms are used: aphelion for orbits around the Sun, apogee for orbits around Earth, and apoapsis as a general technical synonym.
The comet reaches its apocenter beyond Neptune's orbit.
