His hand finally through the bloody ALUS,
He will be unable to protect himself by sea,
Between two rivers he will fear the military hand,
The black and angry one will make him repent of it.
Head of Artemis or Apollo.
The high-quality head was meant to be mounted on to a monumental statue and could stem from a cult image. Due to its effeminate traits, the hairstyle and the pierced earlobes, it counted as female and was thus associated with Artemis. Jet all mentioned traits can also be found in Apollo.

Lillebonne Apollo
2nd century AD
Provenance: near the Gallo-Roman theatre, Lillebonne (Seine-Maritime), France
Gallo-Roman production
Gilded bronze. The areas overlaid with gold leaf applied with the aid of mercury form a grid that is still visible in places, particularly on the thighs
H. 1.94 m
The knee, the right leg and foot, and the left knee and heel are modern.
The statue was discovered on July 24, 1823, and is the largest surviving Gallo-Roman bronze of a divinity. Apollo, the god of medicine and healing, held a lyre in his left hand, a type of composition particularly popular in northern and central-eastern Gaul. The statue was made by a local workshop, and The proportions and balance of the Lillebonne statue, together with the way the hair is arranged, demonstrate the influence of Greek models on the artists of Roman Gaul.
Acquired in 1853

Near Tragedy from a Magical Piece of Hardware
The Apollo spacecraft was made up of many sophisticated, complex and, some may say, "magical" systems. None was more magical than the fuel cell. The magic of the Apollo fuel cell was that it chemically combined hydrogen and oxygen to generate one of the most basic and important elements of a spacecraft- electricity. But the extraordinary by-product of this reaction was the generation of another critical element for spaceflight- water, for drinking and cooling of spacecraft systems.
But beyond its magic, the fuel cell gained its greatest historical notoriety as the system that nearly destroyed the spacecraft and crew of Apollo 13 in April 1970.
What Happened?
Each Apollo Command Module was powered by three fuel cells located in the spacecraft's Service Module, fueled by tanks of liquid oxygen and hydrogen. Pressure in these tanks was maintained during flight by heating the oxygen and hydrogen with small electric heaters located in each container. These heaters were manually operated by the astronauts by flipping a switch on the control panel.
But these small heaters had another use during pre-flight tests that would eventually lead to the historic life-and-death events that unfolded aboard Apollo 13. During the early testing phases of the Apollo fuel cell system, technicians often had difficulty draining the oxygen and hydrogen tanks of their super-cold, volatile contents after tests were conducted. It was determined that if the thermostats of the internal tank heaters could be beefed up to handle a 65-volt electrical current, instead of the original 28-volt system, the heaters could "cook-off" the oxygen and hydrogen and drain the tanks quickly. NASA ordered the manufacturer of the tanks to make the change, but, because of a miscommunication, the change was never made. Therefore, Apollo 13, as well as all previous missions, flew with the undersized thermostats on the fuel cell tank heaters. This error was left undetected until simple, routine procedures during Apollo 13 nearly led to disaster.
During the pre-launch tests of Apollos 7 through 12, the detanking process for the fuel cell system was nominal, and the tank heaters did not have to be activated. But during the Apollo 13 checkout, technicians had difficulty emptying the contents of oxygen tank no. 2. For the first time since the procedure had been approved, pad engineers used the heaters to warm the super-cold oxygen in the tank to boil it off. Technicians- still not realizing the upgrade to the heater thermostats had never been made-applied the specified 65 volts of electricity to the heaters. Unknowingly, the fate of the Apollo 13 mission was sealed before the spacecraft and crew ever left the ground. When the 65 volts were applied to the tank heater- still only sized to handle 28- the switch inside the heater's thermostat welded shut. As the tank continued to empty following the test, the heater's wiring was no longer protected by the cold of the liquid oxygen. The wiring's Teflon-coated insulation melted and became bare. Nobody on the ground recognized the problem.
On the day of the Apollo 13 launch, the tanks were filled again, and now the bare wires were surrounded with liquid oxygen. There would be no danger, however, until the tank heater was activated again.
Outbound to the Moon, the liquid oxygen quantity gradually dropped as the fuel cells were used. Forty-six hours after launch, Mission Control sent orders to Command Module Pilot Jack Swigert to activate the heater switch to build up pressure in tank. But now, the bare wires were no longer covered with their jacket of liquid oxygen. They were now in a pure gaseous oxygen environment. When Swigert flipped the switch, the wires sparked, a fire started, and with the explosive increase in pressure, the tank blew, and ripped away a fourth of the exterior panels of the Service Module, crippling the spacecraft and changing the focus of the mission from the Moon to mere survival.

Information board at the Apollo-Saturn V Museum showing the stages and modules of the Apollo/Saturn V. Naturally, most of the stages belong to Saturn V, only the last stage on the right belongs to the Apollo Spacecraft.
The Apollo Spacecraft is again made up of four stages or modules: The Lunar Module (LM) at the bottom, which was used for landing on the moon, the Service Module (SM), the Command Module (CM), which housed the crew cabin, and finally the Launch Escape System (LES) on the tip of the spacecraft.
Detail of the ivory statuette of Apollo Lykeios.
Mended from over 200 pieces found in a well, the statuette is probably a miniature copy of Praxitele 's Apollo Lykeios that stood in the Aristote 's school of phylosophy, the lyceum. The god held his bow in his left hand. The invocation Lykeios is associated with Apollo 's attribute as God of Light.

Leo muchos comentarios de la gente que ve al isul demasiado niña. Y es cierto, es muy niña. Así que os doy el gustazo de verlo como un repollito xDD. Qué queréis que os diga, lo sigo viendo adorable, y con esa carita parece que ni le molesta, pero yo tengo la sensación de haberlo travestido.
I've read lot of comments saying that isul looks like a girl. And it's true, he's so girly. So I take this pics for your pleasure xD. What can I say, I love him so much even this way, and with that cute face, seems like it doesn't bother him, but I have the feeling that I cross-dressed him
Met Apollo ontwikkelde Olaf Nicolai op de binnenplaats van het museum een sculptuur die tegelijk ook een podium voor performances is. Het ronde, half gesloten paviljoen vormt de omlijsting van een mogelijke voetbalbühne. De bewegingen van de spelers worden gereflecteerd in de spiegels, die in een regelmatig onderbroken ritme rondom het rode speelveld in de hoogte schieten en daarmee een stroboscopisch effect genereren.
Met de vloerschildering grijpt Thonik in op de architectuur en maakt de binnenplaats tot een centrale plek, waarbij de twee en drie dimensionale indentiteiten bijeenkomen.
De schildering toont het woord 'Apollo', de titel van Nicolai's kunstwerk, en is alleen vanuit een godenperspektief te lezen.
Apollo gold in de klassieke mythologie als God van het licht en van de kunsten. Nicolais Apollo op de binnenplaats van Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen is tevens een platform voor ‘wannabe’ Apollo’s. Wie de bühne betreedt, krijgt tijdens zijn/haar spel het stralende aura van het spiegelende paviljoen en wordt bijna gewijd door de geësthetiseerde bewegingsdynamiek. Het werk voegt zich in Nicolais reeks van sculpturen met een architectonische achtergrond, die tevens kunnen worden betreden. Hier ligt bovendien een verbinding met de collectie van Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen. Vooral Double Steel Cage Piece (1974) van Bruce Nauman is in deze samenhang relevant.
De presentatie is mogelijk gemaakt door het H+F Mecenaat.
Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen geeft de hedendaagse kunst een prominente positie door presentaties te laten reflecteren op de collectie en het museumgebouw. Deze visuele uitspraken worden versterkt door de afwisseling met bestaande kunst uit de collectie waardoor een spanningsveld ontstaat. De interventies scherpen zo het kijken van het publiek en dwingen tot nadenken. Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen toont en reageert doorlopend op internationaal toonaangevende kunstenaars.

Apollo 1 is the official name that was later given to the never-flown Apollo/Saturn 204 (AS-204) mission. Its command module (CM-012) was destroyed by fire during a test and training exercise on January 27, 1967 at Pad 34 (Launch Complex 34, Cape Canaveral, then known as Cape Kennedy) atop a Saturn IB rocket. The crew aboard were the astronauts selected for the first manned Apollo program mission: Command Pilot Virgil I. "Gus" Grissom, Senior Pilot Ed White and Pilot Roger B. Chaffee. All three died in the fire.
Apollo Soyuz Project. First time the U.S. and Soviets worked together in space. Also was pretty great because Deke Slayton, one of the original Mercury Astronauts finally got to fly. He was grounded after selection due to heart trouble. This was corrected, and he went into space on this mission.
The Apollo Belvedere or Apollo of the Belvedere is a celebrated marble sculpture from Classical Antiquity. It was rediscovered in the late 15th century, during the Renaissance, and for centuries (through the 19th century) it has epitomized ideals of aesthetic perfection for Europeans and westernized parts of the world.
Leochares was a Greek sculptor from Athens, who lived in the 4th century BC and is beleived to have sculpted the Apollo. The above is a roman copy. It was sculpted in white marble between Between 350 and 325 BC.

The Apollo–Soyuz Test Project (ASTP) (Russian: Экспериментальный полёт Союз-Аполлон, Eksperimantalniy polyot Soyuz-Apollon, lit. "Experimental flight Soyuz-Apollo"), conducted in July 1975, was the first joint U.S.–Soviet space flight, as a symbol of the policy of détente that the two superpowers were pursuing at the time. It involved the docking of an Apollo Command/Service Module with the Soviet Soyuz 19. The unnumbered Apollo vehicle was a surplus from the terminated Apollo program and the last one to fly. This mission ceremoniously marked the end of the Space Race that had begun in 1957 with the Sputnik launch. The Apollo Command Module from the mission is on display at the California Science Center in Los Angeles. The descent module of Soyuz 19 is on display at the RKK Energiya museum in Korolyov, Moscow Oblast, Russia. A display at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. shows the docked Apollo/Soyuz configuration with the restored Apollo Command and Service Module used for testing prior to the mission, the back-up Docking Module, and a model of the Soyuz spacecraft. An identical Soyuz model is exhibited at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. A full-size mockup of the two docked spacecraft is located at the Cosmosphere in Hutchinson, Kansas.
