Alan LaVern Bean (March 15, 1932 – May 26, 2018) was an American naval officer, aviator, aeronautical engineer, test pilot, and NASA astronaut who became the fourth person to walk on the Moon. Bean served as Lunar Module Pilot on Apollo 12 in November 1969, exploring the Ocean of Storms alongside Commander Pete Conrad for over seven hours of lunar surface activity. He commanded Skylab 3 (July–September 1973), a record-breaking 59-day spaceflight that covered 24.4 million miles. After retiring from the Navy in 1975 and NASA in 1981, Bean became the only artist to have visited the Moon, dedicating his later career to painting space-related scenes and documenting his own and fellow Apollo astronauts' experiences.

Alan LaVern Bean (15 de março de 1932 – 26 de maio de 2018) foi um oficial naval estadounidense, aviador, engenheiro aeronáutico, piloto de testes e astronauta da NASA que se tornou a quarta pessoa a caminhar na Lua. Bean serviu como piloto do módulo lunar na Apollo 12 em novembro de 1969, explorando o Oceano das Tempestades ao lado do comandante Pete Conrad durante mais de sete horas de atividades na superfície lunar. Comandou a Skylab 3 (julho–setembro de 1973), um voo recorde de 59 dias que cobriu 24,4 milhões de milhas. Após se aposentar da Marinha em 1975 e da NASA em 1981, Bean se tornou o único artista a ter visitado a Lua, dedicando sua carreira posterior à pintura de cenas relacionadas ao espaço e ao registro de suas próprias experiências e as de seus colegas astronautas do programa Apollo.
