This STS-82 Image is Not a Painting
A surprising archive image stopped me, a 1997 STS-82 photo of Joseph R. Tanner that looks painted but is real. I point out Gregory Harbaugh reflected in Tanner’s visor, the crescent Earth, sunburst, Shuttle tail and the tiny EVA checklist. I also explain the color cleanup and why this Hubble repair mission photo matters.
