An estimated two million people descended upon the nation’s capital on Jan. 20, 2009, to witness the inauguration of Barack Obama as the 44th U.S. president. In this false-color image, the National Mall appears green and brown; the large brown spot visible between the Capitol Building and its reflecting pool is a result of the large crowd that was already gathered there when this image was acquired at 10:31 a.m. High-altitude wispy clouds and jet contrails can also be seen above the city.
