  "description": "Every lunar perigee and apogee from 2026 through 2030 with the UTC instant and the Earth-Moon center-to-center distance rounded to 10 km. Checked against Espenak for 2026 to 2027: distances within 20 km on every row (this file reads about 10 km low throughout); instants within 2 minutes on most rows but up to about 20 minutes at very shallow perigees (368,000 km and beyond) where the instant is not well defined.",
