Pete Conrad (Apollo 12)
Blue halo around Alan Bean at Oceans of Storms Research Base, EVA 1, 14-24 November 1969
Vintage chromogenic print on fiber-based paper, printed 1969, (NASA AS12-46-6826), with "A KODAK PAPER" watermark on verso, 20,3 x 25,4 cm
[original NASA caption for the photograph] Alan Bean’s extravehicular maneuvering unit is surrounded by halo of light as he deploys instruments of ALSEP on Ocean of Storms near ‘Intrepid’ landing site.
"Everybody was trying to figure out what that aura was. Neither Al or I remember seeing the other guy putting the stuff out, but the film picked it up. The conclusion was that the halos were water vapor ice crystals coming out of the water boilers on our backpacks”.
Pete Conrad (Schick and Van Haaften, p. 47)
In fact the blue glow around Bean was due to a dust smudge on the center of the lens. (ALSJ caption for AS12-46-6826)
