In this morning view of the façade of NASA Goddard's Visitor Center, in the foreground at left is a sycamore Moon Tree, which grew from a seed carried around the Moon by the Apollo 14 Command Module in 1971. Behind the building, the 90-foot-tall Delta B launch vehicle, a type used to orbit satellites in the early 1960s, forms the centerpiece of the rocket garden. Imaged Oct. 5, 2023, looking west-northwest.

An afternoon view above the rocket garden at NASA Goddard's Visitor Center. The prominent Delta B launch vehicle stands 90-feet tall and was a type used to orbit satellites in the early 1960s. In the foreground, a kinetic sculpture called Orbits Interweave incorporates three polished stainless steel spheres — representing the Sun, Earth, and GOES weather satellites — that move gently in the wind. The exhibit area around it is shaped like a hurricane symbol. Imaged June 13, 2023, looking east-southeast.

At left is a kinetic sculpture called Orbits Interweave, whose three polished stainless steel spheres — representing the Sun, Earth, and GOES weather satellites — move gently in the wind. At right are Tomahawk and Javelin sounding rockets, with a model of the Apollo Command Module visible behind them. At further right stands a Canadian-designed Black Brandt VIII rocket, whose later relatives are still in use today. Imaged June 13, 2023, looking east.
