Monumental Moon (February 25, 2013)
The Full Moon of February 25, 2013 rises above the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument, and the Capitol. I was joined by almost 150 other "Lunaclicks" for this twice yearly event at the base of the Netherlands Carillon just outside of the Arlington National Cemetery.

Our first view of the Moon at 6:11:08 EST, just 3 minutes after the stated rise time of 6:07. It was a mere 0.4 degrees above the horizon. The Sun set 14 minutes earlier at 5:57 PM. Despite some high level clouds during the day, it faired off in time for this event.
