Harlem
L'Apollo Theater est une illustre salle de spectacle très réputée du quartier de Harlem au nord de Manhattan (New York, États-Unis), située au 253 W. 125th Street et listée au National Register of Historic Places. Le succès des spectacles proposés à l'affiche fait qu'elle deviendra à partir des années quarante un des symboles de la musique noire américaine.
Entre fin 1865 et début 1866, une salle de bal, appelée Apollo Hall, est ouverte par un ancien général de la Guerre de Sécession, Edward Ferrero. Une fois son bail achevé, en 1872, le bâtiment est converti en théâtre, qui ferme ses portes au tournant du siècle, mais le nom « Apollo Theater » demeure.
Construit en 1913 sur un autre emplacement, l'Apollo passe entre les mains de plusieurs familles juives jusqu'en 1945. Il s'appelle, à l'origine, le Hurting and Seamon's New Burlesque Theater en l'honneur de Jules Hurtig et Harry Seamon. Il est réservé à un public blanc.

La salle est ensuite rebaptisée Hurtig and Seamon's Apollo Theater en 1928 quand sa direction est reprise par Billy Minsky, puis 125th Street Apollo Theater en 1934 sous la direction de Frank Schiffman et Leo Brecher. Un nouveau contexte économique aux États-Unis, la fin de la prohibition et l'effervescence du quartier à cette époque (on parle de « Harlem Renaissance ») favorisent le développement et l'évolution des clubs de jazz qui vont s'ouvrir à un plus large public et aux gens de couleur.
Le lieu est repris en 1932 par Sidney Cohen puis par Brecher and Schiffman en 1935. Il est renommé Apollo Theater. Dès lors, la musique noire américaine est accueillie avec succès et l'Apollo theatre devient un haut lieu new yorkais du jazz classique où se succèdent les big bands de Claude Hopkins, Chick Webb, Fletcher Henderson, Andy Kirk, Jimmie Lunceford, Count Basie et Duke Ellington. L'Apollo compte environ 1 750 places.

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.
Consoles in the old Apollo mission control room. Would have preferred a looser framing, but was trying to keep other tourists out of the shot...
Apollo lives at the nearby colony that we help to manage and where we trap most of the time. This is a crop of the same photo as the other photos of him that I just uploaded.

The Apollo Fuel Cell was designed to convert cryogenic oxygen (O2) and hydrogen (H2) into electrical power. A vitally important by-product of this chemical reaction was the production of water (H2O) which was used by the astronauts during their mission. A complement of three 28-volt fuel cells provided all the onboard electrical power to the Apollo Command and Service Module (the Lunar Excursion Module was battery powered). Each fuel cell was rated at 1.5kW, with a maximum power of 2.2kW for brief periods. Each fuel cell consisted of 31 cells connected in scries (each producing one volt) and weighed 245 pounds. Each fuel cell had its own hydrogen and oxygen compartment and two electrodes (conductors). The heat produced by the chemical reaction (mixing H2 with O2) was used to maintain the gases at a reactive temperature (385 F) while excess heat was vented into space. The three power cells operated in parallel; although a single power plant was enough to ensure safe return. Fuel cells were first tested during the Gemini program and are still used today, in modified form, aboard the Space Shuttle.
This is an actual lunar module, one of 12 built for Project Apollo. It was meant to be used in low Earth orbit to test the techniques of separation, rendezvous, and docking with the command and service module. The second of two such test vehicles, its mission was cancelled because of the complete success of the first flight.
The lunar module had two stages. The descent (lower) stage was equipped with a rocket motor to slow the rate of descent to the lunar surface. It contained exploration equipment and remained on the Moon when the astronauts left. The ascent (upper) stage contained the crew compartment and a rocket motor to return the astronauts to the orbiting command module. After the crew entered the command module for the trip back to Earth, the lunar module was released and eventually crashed into the Moon.

Unknown Moon Institue at the Lunar and Planetary Insitute (and Johnson Space Center). This is a moon rock collected by a human walking on the moon during the Apollo missions in the 1960s and 1970s. This sample is located in a secure dust-free clean room at NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston, TX. I got to see it as part of the teacher education program Unknown Moon sponsored by the Lunar and Planetary Institute.

L'Apollo Theater est une salle de spectacle mythique du quartier de Harlem au nord de Manhattan (New York, États-Unis), située sur la 125e rue. Elle est devenue dans les années 1940 le symbole de la musique noire américaine.L'Apollo Theater devient célèbre, notamment avec sa fameuse « Nuit des amateurs » dont le but est de faire monter sur scène des jeunes et moins jeunes talents inconnus du public. Sarah Vaughan, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, James Brown (qui revient sur la scène de l'Apollo en 1962 devant 1 500 personnes déchaînées pour l'enregistrement de son disque Live at the Apollo), Anita Baker et plus tard Michael Jackson (avec The Jackson Five) ont fait leurs premiers pas sur scène grâce à ce concours organisé tous les mercredis soirs à l'Apollo Theater.
Le Théâtre Apollo, « là où les rêves se réalisent et où les légendes sont nées », devient un tremplin pour la célébrité. La « Nuit des amateurs » reste d'actualité encore aujourd'hui et se déroule toujours le mercredi soir. (source wikipedia)
Le mur à côté du théâtre est recouvert de mots à la mémoire de Michael Jackson.

I was able to get home for Christmas to spend a week at my parent's cabin at Apollo Bay. If you squint hard enough you can see it at the base of the hills in the background.
The afternoon of this photo I got on my bike and headed up the Barham River Tourist Drive to get some shots of the surrounding hills in the golden light. On the way out I got this shot and I think it lines up nicely. It's very typical of the region and that's why my parents love it so much here. It's charming.
The Apollo Theater may be the best-known Harlem landmark. I have been by here a few other times, but this was the first at night.

Original photo is by NASA and is found online at Lunar Atlas site of the Lunar and Planetary Institute, Houston Texas. Their description provided of sample 65326 is as follows:
Moderately coherent cataclastic anorthosite; has a "bronze colored" streak.
I enhanced the original poor quality photo to bring out the details of the specimen. the bronze streak is same as in my specimens.
