The October 2025 Harvest Moon rises over Arlington’s Marine Corps War Memorial, its glow breaking through clouds above the illuminated bronze figures of the Iwo Jima flag raising. In the distance, the Washington Monument and U.S. Capitol shine in alignment — a solemn reminder of sacrifice framed against the nation’s capital.
The October 2025 Harvest Moon rises above Washington, D.C., glowing unusually large as it lifts into the pastel sky at twilight. From this vantage point, the Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument, and U.S. Capitol align in a classic view of the National Mall, with the full moon appearing oversized on the horizon — a visual effect created by atmospheric perspective at moonrise.
