NASA: Original vintage gelatin silver black and white NASA photo of glowing astronaut Alan L. Bean on the moon during the Apollo 12 mission.
Bean is carrying parts of the Apollo 12 mission's lunar surface experiment package ALSEP (Apollo Lunar Surface Experiment Package). Why Bean lights up is still debated on the Internet.
On the back of the photograph you can see that it was used for a quiz in a newspaper in November 1969, where the question was:
What ghostly occurence on the moon is quzzling the scientists?
The answer from another pasted clip reads:
Photo-question answer: One of the astronauts seems to give off a ghostly glow in the photos as he walked on the moon. Scientists have no explanation.
It was later revealed that the aura surrounding Alan L. Bean consisted of ice crystals.

Mid Century Modern and antique interior decoration art are the focus of Quirky Sundays’ Antique & Vintage shop. Our business are dealing with antique and vintage interior design for a warm, eclectic and fun home with a Scandinavian accent.
We are always on the search for wonderful decorative art, e.g. glass, pottery, vases and vessels, lighting, wood, metal, flat-weave rugs and other items that can form a bridge to the people we once were. A home looks great with new furniture and decoration, but to add character and true style in our opinion you also need some things that relates to our cultural background and past.
Our focus expands from the 19th to the 20th century and we aim to make our costumers travel in time through antique and vintage things that our predecessors produced, possessed, cared for and cherised . We focus on the reuse of fantastic decorative art, which are hand made with great craft, artistic inspiration and love.
