On November 12, 1966, astronaut Buzz Aldrin captured what he would later describe as the first selfie taken during a spacewalk. Aboard NASA’s Gemini XII mission, Aldrin opened the spacecraft’s hatch, positioned his camera and photographed himself against the breathtaking backdrop of Earth. It was more than just a historic photograph — it was part of a mission that helped NASA solve some of the biggest challenges of working in space.
