Washington DC cathedral has a small Apollo lunar rock embedded in one of its new stained glass windows (in the center of the window).

I have a good B&W image but does anyone have any color images - both from within and from outside of the window?

Does the cathedral mention the Apollo lunar rock in any of its publications available to the public in its entrances?

Hi Phill, this is the only view I've ever seen of the window.

The rock is 7 grams, so it will be hard to get a close-up.

Take care - Dan

Here's someone's personal photograph of the Space Window from inside.

And here's a replica of the Space Window you can order.

Thanks to Danno and Robert.

Excellent links and the fact you can order a replica is even better.

They no longer have this available, does anyone know of another source?

Thanks,
