I added a picture of the Space Window. The moon rock is in the middle of the moon and the trajectory of the trip is visible if you look hard. The sun was on the opposite side of the cathedral when I took the picture and my flash was pitiful in that vast space.

Oh, that's very cool! I'd love to go back to DC sometime soon and see more stuff like that!
