The Lunar Module (LM) was a two-stage spacecraft built by Grumman that was the first vehicle designed to operate solely in the vacuum of space and designed to ferry two astronauts from lunar orbit to the Moon's surface and back. The "Eagle" was the specific lunar module used during the Apollo 11 mission, which was the first mission to land humans on the Moon on July 20, 1969. The mission fulfilled President John F. Kennedy's goal of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to Earth before the end of the 1960s.
The descent stage of the Lunar Module, the lower section, remained on the Moon after the astronauts left. The ascent stage, which contained the crew compartment, lifted off from the Moon to rendezvous with the orbiting command module. Six of these descent stages remain at their landing sites on the Moon today.
This model is a display at the National Space Centre in Leicester, UK. This is a major highlight of the centre, which also houses a 42-meter-high rocket tower, the UK's largest planetarium, and other space-related galleries with interactive displays and artifacts. As well as this model of the Apollo Lunar Lander, there is a real moon rock collected during the Apollo 17 mission.

In the Apollo temple built between 1761-1763 by Nicolas de Pigage. In the 18th-century people were already making nasty comments about Apollo's butt and because he's holding the lyra with his right hand and playing with the left hand. They liked to call him lefty, which has a double meaning in German, deceitful and lefthanded. Wilhelm Heinse (1746-1803) wrote to his friend Jakobi: "the lefty god has a miserable butt".

Apollo Community Regional Park, named in honor of the Apollo 11 astronauts, was dedicated in 1972 and features three man-made lakes. The 54-acre park has walking paths around all three lakes.
An extract from the NASA archives of the Apollo 11 lunar surface imagery shot 50 years ago today -- with a modified 70mm Hasselblad -- an extraordinary moment in space exploration and human history! I choose a more unusual example from the catalog displaying the extreme sunlight that the astronauts saw especially when they first approached the moon! You can find the catalog at the lunar planetary Institute. This is from Magazine S. here's a link: www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/catalog/70mm/magazine/?40
While there, you can find images from the mapping metric camera, along with imagery from the other Apollo missions -- notably Apollo 8, the first mission to leave the protective atmosphere of earth and make it to the moon, and Apollo 17, The last human visit to the moon.

This Roman-Provincial church was built in the 12th century, exactly in the same place where the first Greek temple, dedicated to Apollo once stood. The fourteenth-century belfry was rebuilt in the 17th century, but in 1668, when the St-Jean fort was extended, the hillock descending towards the sea was cut off by a ditch, destroying the church façade. The main access to the church is now on the right-hand side. This lovely church and her Saint Catherine chapel withstood the destruction of this fishing district (the Saint-Jean district) during the occupation by the German troops in 1943, preserving its beautiful Roman architecture of pink limestone, found in La Couronne, a nearby village on the Riviera. Its vault is decorated with liemes and tiercerons, from a late Gothic period, only found in Marseille and the chapel holds many different works of art of which certain originate from Saint-Laurent.
Apollo Community Regional Park, named in honor of the Apollo 11 astronauts, was dedicated in 1972 and features three man-made lakes..Patrons can enjoy lunch under one of the many picnic shelters or just take a leisurely stroll on the walking paths around the beautiful lakes on the 54 acre property.
I guess it was fitting that the first train I ever photographed on the Portage Bridge was this D&H train with power from NS predecessor N&W on June 5, 1977. The train looks like Apollo 2, with a pair of high hood GP40's bracketing a U30B. I took this while attending my Senior Class picnic in Letchworth Park.
Eventim Apollo, Hammersmith. Opened as the Gaumont Palace in March 1932, having been long planned (from 1925) with initially the Davis family as promoters, but latterly Gaumont British. It was designed by Robert Cromie, and had 3,487 seats in stalls and balcony levels, plus standing room for a further 225. It is art deco in style, with panels by Newbury A. Trent. The Gaumont was equipped with a 35ft deep stage, full fly tower with 28 double purchase counterweight lines, a 64ft wide proscenium arch, and 20 dressing rooms. There is an 4 rank / 15 rank Compton organ, reinstated in 2005 after many years in storage. The Gaumont was renamed Odeon in 1962, regular films ceased in 1984, but sometimes occasionally play dates. It became the Apollo in 1992, and has been taken over by various companies over the years (Clear Channel; MAMA; HMV; Stage C) but is currently owned by CTS Eventim. As the finest surviving work by Robert Cromie, and (together with the Plaza Stockport), one of the greatest, and least altered 1930s super cinemas, the Apollo is grade 2* listed, and had a major refurbishment (Foster Wilson Architects) in the summer of 2013, uncovering and restoring many decorative features of the building. The Apollo is regularly featured on film and television, from "The Smallest Show on Earth" (1956 feature film) to "Live From The Apollo" regular TV Stand-up recording (18, and counting, series beginning 2004). Taken on a visit arranged by the Cinema Theatre Association.

Today marks the 50th anniversary of the launch of Apollo 11 at Kennedy Space Center, Florida! The American flag heralds the flight of Apollo 11, man's first lunar landing mission. The Apollo 11 Saturn V space vehicle lifted off with astronauts Neil A. Armstrong, Michael Collins and Edwin E. Aldrin Jr. at 9:32 a.m. EDT from KSC's Launch Complex 39A. During the eight-day mission, Armstrong and Aldrin descended in the Lunar Module to the Moon's surface while Collins orbited overhead in the Command Module. The two astronauts spent 22 hours on the Moon, including two-and-one-half hours outside the Lunar Module, gathering samples of lunar material and deploying scientific experiments that transmitted data about the lunar environment. They rejoined Collins in the Command Module for the return trip to Earth.
It is time for us to dream big again! As they did 50 years ago, our dreams today embody the hopes of all humanity to reach for new heights and reveal the unknown for the benefit of humankind. That is our vision Artemis 1.

SP^4: Soaring Pelicans Seaside Pretty Sunset Past Saint Petersberg - IMRAN™
I was on the dock of my blessed home on Tampa Bay, Florida, when I saw these pelicans soaring past my home. A sunset was taking shape behind Saint Petersberg in the distance across the water.

Apollo’s Temple

View from the opposite hill to the TEMPLE OF APOLLO
The Temple of Apollo , Stourhead Lake .
This circular temple was built in 1765, by the architect Henry Flitcroft, to outdo William Chamber’s earlier Temple of the Sun at Kew. It is dedicated to Apollo, the sun god. Nestled on a hilltop, the temple has delightful views over the lake
