Apollo 12 astronaut on the Moon
Apollo 12 astronaut Alan Bean walking on the Moon during the Apollo 12 moon landing. The gravity on the Moon is around a sixth of that on Earth, making even small efforts result in large movements.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic moment when Apollo 12 astronaut Alan Bean took his historic steps on the Moon's surface during the Apollo 12 moon landing. The image showcases Bean gracefully walking, or rather bouncing, across the lunar landscape. With gravity on the Moon being only a sixth of that on Earth, every small effort results in exaggerated movements. Apollo 12, the second manned lunar landing mission, embarked on its groundbreaking journey on November 14th, 1969. In this photograph, we can see part of the Head crater to the right and just above it is a glimpse of the lunar module that brought them safely to their extraterrestrial destination. The monochrome composition adds an air of nostalgia and highlights both the historical significance and sheer awe-inspiring nature of this momentous event. It serves as a reminder of humanity's remarkable achievements in space exploration during one of our most ambitious eras. Alan Bean's presence in this image symbolizes not only his personal accomplishment but also represents all those who were part of mankind's quest for knowledge beyond our planet. This single frame encapsulates decades worth of scientific progress and technological advancements that led up to this monumental feat. As we gaze upon this extraordinary photograph from Science Photo Library, we are transported back to November 1969 when humans defied gravity and ventured into uncharted territory – forever leaving their mark on history.
