This image, released by NASA on July 16, 2019, shows a panorama view of the lunar surface from just inside the rim of Surveyor Crater and shows Apollo 12 lunar module pilot Alan Bean on the first moonwalk of the mission. The panoramic images received minimal retouching by NASA, including the removal of lens flares that were problematic in stitching together the individual frames and blacking out the sky to the lunar horizon. These adjustments were made based on observations of the astronauts who reported that there are no stars visible in the sky due to the bright lunar surface reflection of the Sun.
