This week will come with reflections of tragedies and the next phase of former President Donald Trump's second impeachment case.
This week will have been one year after a deadly helicopter crash claimed nine lives and 35 years after the space shuttle Challenger explosion claimed seven lives.
Here's what to know.
Impeachment case moves forward
The House of Representatives is moving forward on the second impeachment of former President Donald Trump, less than a week after he left office.
It involves a single charge of incitement of insurrection for the deadly attack on the Capitol that unfolded on Jan. 6.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will send the article of impeachment late Monday, with senators sworn in as jurors Tuesday.
In December 2019, Trump was impeached by the House on two articles: abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. House Democrats claimed the president abused power like no other leader in U.S. history when he pressured Ukraine to investigate Biden and his son, Hunter Biden, ahead of the 2020 election. The Senate acquitted him on both articles in February.
Opening arguments for the second trial, of which no president has ever faced previously, will move to February.
1 year passes since Kobe helicopter crash
Tuesday marks one year since a tragic helicopter crash killed basketball legend Kobe Bryant along with his daughter Gianna and her basketball teammate and six other people.
In addition to Bryant, 41, and his 13-year-old daughter, the crash claimed the lives of Payton Chester, 13; Sarah Chester, 45; Alyssa Altobelli, 14; Keri Altobelli, 46; John Altobelli, 56; Christina Mauser, 38; and the helicopter's pilot, Ara Zobayan, 50.
Bryant was posthumously selected to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in early 2020, but an enshrinement ceremony for that class is slated for May 13-15.
Remembering the Challenger tragedy
Thursday will mark 35 years after the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger, claiming the lives of seven people: Christa McAuliffe, Gregory Jarvis, Ronald McNair, Ellison Onizuka, Judith Resnik, Dick Scobee and Michael Smith.
This year, NASA's annual Day of Remembrance ceremony will be livestreamed on Facebook at 11 a.m. ET due to social distancing precautions, the Kennedy Space Center said.
The explosion happened 73 seconds after liftoff.
