To beat the Soviets to the moon, NASA changed Apollo 8's mission from orbiting the earth to orbiting the moon. They launched on December 21st and made this telecast from around the moon on Christmas Eve.
On a photography note, Apollo 8 was the first mission where a photo of the whole earth was able to be taken. The most famous was Earth Rise
The Apollo/Saturn V Center was built to house a restored Saturn V launch vehicle and features other exhibits related to the Apollo program.
This was at Steve's wedding (check him out in my stream) and Apollo was playing the guitar and singing. Love it when people like to pose.

statue of Apollo at the Getty Villa. Thought the motion blur of the guy walking added a nice touch to it.

The Capitoline Museums complex (Musei Capitolini) in Rome has one of the finest collections of sculptures, statues, and archaeological finds from antiquity in the world, in addition to paintings and art from the Middle Ages to the Baroque. Top highlights are very rare large Roman bronze sculptures such as the original equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius, Boy with a Thorn, and the Capitoline She-Wolf (and the much more recent Romulus and Remus). The paintings collection includes works by Caravaggio, Titian, Rubens, Van Dyck, and many other European masters. Although the museum is rarely overcrowded, buying tickets online saves time.

Some random images from the Gala Night at the Apollo with the unveiling of the "Faces of Olivier"
As my morning coffee brewed, I slipped on my shoes and jacket, grabbed the Nikon, and headed out the door to see what the moon was looking like.
I'm no astronomer, but as near as I can tell, X marks the approximate spot where the Apollo 12 Lunar Landing Module set down on November 19, 1969. The landing area is known as Oceanus Procellarum, or the "Ocean of Storms". And it seems the flag that was set that day is still standing today, just short of 55 years later.
I just found that interesting.
Image was cropped only, as well as adding the flag and text in post processing. No other editing to the image was done.

Wall medallions offer texture and interest as well as a nice departure from the expected. Each is handmade of mango wood with a golden finish and has a bracket on back for hanging. Use alone, in multiples or mix the 3 sizes for a sculptural art piece that can be as unique as you are. cantoni.com/shop/shop-the-look/golden-opportunities/apoll...

Apollo and Daphne was completed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini in 1625, when he was only 27 years old.
It depicts the myth of the nymph Daphne escaping the advances of Apollo by transforming into a laurel tree.
The leaves are so fine that when struck with a tool, the marble makes a sound like crystal glass.
From Ovid's Metamorphoses:
"As Apollo relentlessly chases Daphne—boasting, pleading, and promising everything. When her strength is finally spent she prays to her father Peneus:
"Destroy the beauty that has injured me, or change the body that destroys my life." Before her prayer was ended, torpor seized on all her body, and a thin bark closed around her gentle bosom, and her hair became as moving leaves; her arms were changed to waving branches, and her active feet as clinging roots were fastened to the ground—her face was hidden with encircling leaves.
Even like this Apollo loved her and, placing his hand against the trunk, he felt her heart still quivering under the new bark. He clasped the branches as if they were parts of human arms, and kissed the wood. But even the wood shrank from his kisses, and the god said:
"Since you cannot be my bride, you must be my tree! Laurel, with you my hair will be wreathed, with you my lyre, with you my quiver. You will go with the Roman generals when joyful voices acclaim their triumph, and the Capitol witnesses their long processions. You will stand outside Augustus's doorposts, a faithful guardian, and keep watch over the crown of oak between them. And just as my head with its uncropped hair is always young, so you also will wear the beauty of undying leaves."

Sacrificing the Hasselblads
Along with the Moon rocks, some of the most precious cargo the astronauts returned from the lunar surface were the camera backs removed from their Hasselblad 70-mm cameras. Inside were some of the most famous and profound images ever recorded in history, each image giving photographic testimony to mankind's first exploration of another world.
To save weight and space for their return trip off the Moon, the astronauts discarded their Hasselblad cameras on the lunar surface, returning to Earth with only the camera backs. During the Apollo Program, these film canisters returned nearly 25,000 priceless photographic images, many of which have been forever etched in our collective memory
DISPLAYED HERE are actual Hasselblad film backs returned from each Apollo mission. These special canisters were built by Hasselblad specifically for NASA and each unit contained enough film for 200 exposures. Displayed with each canister are actual photographic images returned to Earth from these specific camera backs.

Just a few weeks after his untimely death we went to the Apollo to buy tickets for Amateur Night. Next to the Theatre a big wall was dedicated to Michael and on the sidewalk all kinds of merchandize with his name or image on it was sold.
Yesterday we went to see “This is It”, a documentary about the preparations for a series of Jackson concerts in London. The film shows MJ still very much at the top of his game, dancing and singing as good as ever. It’s impossible not be impressed by his talent and the incredible amount of hit-songs he produced.
Of course it leaves you with questions unanswered. How was his physical and mental state? What’s the story with all the medication he used? And more.
But that’s not what the film is about: it’s attribute to Jacksons achievements and his role in modern pop music; in that respect it’s very convincing.
