    An astronaut is performing an extravehicular activity (EVA) in low Earth orbit, floating outside a spacecraft with Earth's curved horizon and atmosphere visible in the background. The astronaut is holding a handheld maneuvering unit (HHMU) and is tethered by a gold-colored umbilical/tether line. The image appears to be from NASA's Gemini program era based on the suit design, equipment, and photographic style.
