“This pencil sketch of the Comet Kohoutek made by Skylab-4 astronaut Edward Gibson illustrates the crew’s collective impressions of the comet’s appearance on December 29, 1973.”
I love this sketch, but it’s a great example of why astronauts’ visual systems are not nearly as good as robots’ for making any kind of recordable observation.
