Space Window with Apollo 11 lunar fragment

The Washington National Cathedral's Space Window, installed in 1965, contains a small fragment of lunar rock brought back by the Apollo 11 mission and embedded within the window's center. The window was designed by Rowan LeCompte and commemorates space exploration; the presence of the moon fragment is documented by the cathedral and widely reported in museum and press accounts. Visitors can view the window in the cathedral's north transept as part of regular tours and services.
