The full moon is seen as it rises near the Lincoln Memorial, Saturday, March 19, 2011, in Washington. The full moon tonight is called a "Super Perigee Moon" since it is at it's closest to Earth in 2011. The last full moon so big and close to Earth occurred in March of 1993.

“Especially right now during the pandemic crisis, I love to occupy my mind. People say that they’re tired of being at home, but I don’t feel that. I practice yoga. I love decorating our house and working in the backyard during the summer time. If I don’t like where something is, I have to change it. That’s what I love. It’s the same thing with my work —I go outside the box to get ideas. I think about, how do I solve this? I apply the same skills to my creative passions and my current job. I create strategies for a better way of doing business for NASA. And I set the tone to keep me motivated and more productive.”  NASA Senior Program Analyst, Jenny Acebron-Carlos, poses for a portrait at the Lincoln Memorial, Friday, Feb. 12, 2021 in Washington.

ISS013-E-13549 (2 May 2006) --- Washington, DC is featured in this image photographed by an Expedition 13 crewmember on the International Space Station. When the image was exposed, the orbital outpost was located over the western border of Maryland and West Virginia. The resolution and extent of the true-color, handheld image is similar to the 15-meter/pixel data obtained by sensors onboard the unmanned Landsat-7 and Terra satellites. This resolution is sufficient to capture the sunglint off the Capitol Building's dome. Other major landmarks that are visible include the Washington Monument, the Pentagon (bottom left, southwest of the Potomac River), and the Lincoln Memorial, along the northwest bank of the Potomac.

Super Moon Rises
A NASA T-38 training jet is seen as it flies at 1500 feet over Washington, DC, Thursday, April 5, 2012.  NASA, in cooperation with the Federal Aviation Administration, conducted training and photographic flights over the DC metropolitan area.  T-38 aircraft have been used for astronaut training for more than 30 years as they allow pilots and mission specialists to think quickly in changing situations, mental experiences the astronauts say are critical to practicing for the rigors of spaceflight.

T-38 Aircraft Fly Over Washington
Space shuttle Discovery, mounted atop a NASA 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (SCA), flies over the Washington skyline as seen from a NASA T-38 aircraft, Tuesday, April 17, 2012. Discovery, the first orbiter retired from NASA’s shuttle fleet, completed 39 missions, spent 365 days in space, orbited the Earth 5,830 times, and traveled 148,221,675 miles. NASA will transfer Discovery to the National Air and Space Museum to begin its new mission to commemorate past achievements in space and to educate and inspire future generations of explorers.
