canyon42That's really cool.
LM-12Gene Cernan on Gemini 9A managed to capture the moon on REV 32 in EVA photo S66-38062 which is looking aft at the adapter section.

From earlier in the EVA when Cernan was behind the adapter at the AMU:


Cernan: Who said this visor wouldn't fog up?

Stafford: Is it fogging on you?

Cernan: Yes.

Stafford: Okay.

Stafford: Understand visor is fogging. Okay. Next break, attach those temperature sensors if you can see them.

Stafford: You're going to have the moon back there in just a minute.

Cernan: Okay. I've got the temperature sensors on. I had them both on, and one fell off.

Stafford: Okay. Attach - unstow and attach to the controller arm in the following order: Oxygen hose - -

Cernan: I've got to take a rest, Tom.

LM-12Not an EVA photo, but the moon is also seen above the Gemini 7 spacecraft in Gemini 6A rendezvous photo S65-63183 taken on REV 5.

The moon phase seems to match the bright light seen in this night station-keeping photo of the Gemini 7 spacecraft. (The image is reversed.)

CC: Gemini VI, Gemini VI, Houston CAP COM. How do you read?

Stafford: Loud and clear, Houston. Go ahead.

CC: Could you give us a report on your night station-keeping?

Stafford: No trouble at all. We're about 20 feet apart, using the docking lights and the cabin lights of the spacecraft.

CC: Roger. Understand no trouble at all. 20 feet apart. Using the docking lights on VI.

Stafford: We're using the docking lights from VI to illuminate - -

CC: Roger, understand. Docking lights on VI to illuminate VII.

Also, from the mission transcripts at 03 01 08 18 GET during the EVA:
Schweickart: Boy, oh boy; what a view!

Scott: Isn't that spectacular?

Schweickart: It really is. There's the moon right over there.
