Alan Bean - Skylab Spacewalk

Astronaut Alan L. Bean, commander of the second Skylab crew, participates in the final extravehicular activity (EVA) of that mission, during which a variety of tasks were performed. Here, Bean is near the Apollo Telescope Mount (ATM) during final film change out for the giant telescope facility. Astronaut Owen K. Garriott, who took the picture, is reflected in Bean's helmet visor. The reflected Earth disk in Bean's visor is so clear that the Red Sea and Nile River area can delineated.
