Skylab was Americas’s first manned space station where astronauts performed numerous experiments. As part of the Skylab 3 mission in 1973, this picture of stars from the Aquarius constellation was taken during their Zodiacal Light/Gegenschein experiments. A 35mm camera was used with a six minute exposure; pointing out into space through Skylab’s anti-solar scientific airlock, within its Orbital Workshop (OWS).
