A magnificent photograph of the Agena Target Docking Vehicle floating in space about 50 feet away
from the Gemini capsule, as both spacecraft were station-keeping before docking.
The American flag is very clearly visible.

From the mission transcript when the photograph was taken:
004:08:26 Lovell: At 25 feet.
04:08:28 Lovell: That's pretty good. Hey, take some stills, Buzz. Stills are the thing. These movies don't
come out at all. Just keep taking shots.
004:08:38 Lovell: Movies aren't worth a darn. That's a beautiful shot right there, 25 feet. That’s f:11,
1/250th.
004:08:43 Aldrin: Right on it.
004:08:47 Capcom (Mission Control): Gemini XII, CSQ (Coastal Senstry Quebec).
004:08:49 Lovell Roger, CSQ. Gemini XII here.
004:08:5S Capcom: Roger. How are you doing up there?
004:08:55 Lovell: Oh we’re taking pictures of the beautiful Agena here. Everything's okay. [...]
004:09:52 Capcom: We're giving you a GO for Docking.
