L'amas globulaire Messier 13, très souvent appelé le Grand Amas d'Hercule , est parmi les objets les plus imposants du catalogue Messier (1764).
Comportant plus de 500 000 étoiles, il est aussi l'un des plus vieux objets ( 12 à 14 milliards d'années). Il apparaît avec un diamètre de 20 minutes d'arc, soit un diamètre réel de 150 années-lumière. Il a cependant la particularité de contenir de nombreuses étoiles jeunes ce qui est inhabituel pour un amas de cet âge (les étoiles auraient été capturées par la gravité de l'amas).
M13 a été utilisé en 1974 (le 16 novembre) comme cible pour l'envoi d'un message à une potentielle civilisation extraterrestre. Ce message a été envoyé à partir du radiotélescope d'Arecibo, qui participe également au projet SETI. Il contenait des informations comme les chiffres, le numéro atomique de l'hydrogène, du carbone, de l'azote, de l'oxygène et du phosphore, des données sur l'ADN, la forme et la taille d'un humain, la population terrestre, et la position de la Terre dans le système solaire. Il mettra 25 000 ans à y parvenir (autant pour la réponse éventuelle).
En arrière plan IC4617 est une galaxie spirale distante d'environ 503 millions d'années lumière (Wow !)
Some of the streets in Monaco can be a little crazy and that's what makes Monaco a great place for the Formula 1 Grand Prix with all the twists and turns and elevation changes. Here is a view looking down at some of the streets with Port Hercule and the Rock of Monaco in the distance.

Le temple d'Hercule Victor dit Olivarius, parfois appelé temple de Vesta en raison de sa forme circulaire, date de la fin du IIe siècle av. J.-C. et est situé dans l'ancienne zone du Forum Boarium (marché aux animaux qui remonte aux origines de la fondation de Rome). Il semble que Marcus Octavius Herennius, un riche marchand ayant fait fortune dans le commerce de l'huile d'olive, chargea l'architecte grec Hermodoros de Salamine de construire un temple dédié à Hercule (le protecteur des Olearii, les marchands d’huile). Le temple doit sa remarquable conservation à sa transformation en église durant le Moyen Âge : d’abord transformé en l'église de Santo Stefano delle Carrozze (au XIIème siècle), puis en Santa Maria del Sole à partir du XVème siècle. Il sera restauré dans sa forme antique au XIXe siècle. Cet élégant temple circulaire de 16 mètres de diamètre, dont la cella (du latin celare : cacher, désignant un local fermé) est orientée côté Est, possède vingt colonnes cannelées à chapiteaux corinthiens de plus de 10 mètres de haut. Ce serait même le lieu où Hercule s'est reposé après son dixième travail…
En arrière-plan et à droite le temple rectangulaire de la Fortune Virile, consacré au dieu Portunus, protecteur des navigateurs et des ports. Construit au IVème ou IIIème siècle avant J-C, il fut consacré à la corporation des bateliers. Restauré à plusieurs reprises entre le IIème et le Ier siècle avant J-C, le temple que l’on peut voir aujourd’hui date probablement de 75 avant J-C. Mesurant environ 20 mètres sur 12 mètres, il s’élève sur un podium revêtu de plaques de travertin. On accède à la cella par un escalier en façade. Cet édifice, de style hellénique, possède quatre colonnes ioniques en façades, hautes de 8,24 mètres. Sur les longs côtés, qui comptent sept colonnes, cinq sont en tuf et engagées dans les parois de la cella. Ce temple est dépourvu de galerie. L’ensemble du temple est recouvert de stuc blanc. La frise est ornée de candélabres et de guirlandes, la corniche de têtes de lions. Ce temple semble être une réplique du temple de Saturne, notamment par le plan. Le porche est à l’inverse du Forum Boarium, il lui tourne le dos. Le sanctuaire fut transformé en 872 en église, la Santa Maria Egiziaca.
The temple of Hercules Victor said Olivarius, sometimes called temple of Vesta because of its circular form, dates from the end of the second century BC. AD and is located in the former area of Boarium Forum (animal market that dates back to the origins of the founding of Rome). It seems that Marcus Octavius Herennius, a wealthy merchant who made his fortune in the olive oil trade, commissioned the Greek architect Hermodoros of Salamis to build a temple dedicated to Hercules (the protector of the Olearii, the oil merchants ). The temple owes its remarkable preservation to its transformation into a church during the Middle Ages: first transformed into the church of Santo Stefano delle Carrozze (in the 12th century), then in Santa Maria del Sole from the 15th century. It will be restored in its antique form in the 19th century. This elegant circular temple of 16 meters in diameter, whose cella (from the Latin celare: hide, designating a closed room) is oriented east, has twenty fluted columns with Corinthian capitals more than 10 meters high. It would even be the place where Hercules rested after his tenth job …
In the background and to the right is the rectangular temple of Fortune Virile, dedicated to the god Portunus, protector of navigators and ports. Built in the 4th or 3rd century BC, it was dedicated to the boatmen's guild. Restored several times between the 2nd and 1st century BC, the temple that can be seen today probably dates from 75 BC. Measuring about 20 meters by 12 meters, it stands on a podium covered with travertine slabs. The cella is accessed by a staircase in frontage. This building, of Hellenic style, has four Ionic columns facades, 8.24 meters high. On the long sides, which have seven columns, five are tuff and engaged in the walls of the cella. This temple is devoid of gallery. The whole temple is covered with white stucco. The frieze is adorned with candelabra and garlands, the cornice of lions' heads. This temple seems to be a replica of the temple of Saturn, especially by the plan. The porch is the opposite of the Forum Boarium, he turns his back. The sanctuary was transformed in 872 into a church, the Santa Maria Egiziaca.
Hercule & Antée
Hercules and Diomedes, Vincenzo de’ Rossi, c. 1560 de Vincenzo de Rossi « Les Travaux d'Hercule - Florence
Canadian National's daily Jonquière switcher out of Chambord rolls north by Lac Hercule, a small body of water just west outside the city of Jonquière. Consist : CN 4141, CN 4795.
At last things were starting to fall into place! Beauchamp's strategy seemed to have the approval of the redcoats, and the interest of the greenbacks. Now was the time to put it all into action.
As Hercule looked back over the column, a frown crossed his face. It wasn't like last time; fighting on his own soil, against a familiar old foe. No! Now they were facing strangers, on a strange shore. Shoulder to shoulder with horse-eaters and night-cappers. What a world we live in.
Where now were those gallant heroes of the Juniper Groves? Those brave young bastards with fire in their bellies, and powder on their lips. They were gone. Over the hills or under them. And all that was left was one old soldier, trading on long-spent victories.
He waved to his aide; another bright young thing with mustard on his mutton.
"Signal the men into position." He muttered quietly.
"Oui Général." Was the curt reply.
And what an army they were! Colonials, Tribals and Nuns. Untried, untested, unready. Jules claimed they had fought and won battles before. But what does a priest know of battle?
He waved Georges over.
"Let's have something with a bit of body behind it, shall we?"
"The Chateau Marôt, perhaps?" offered the chef.
"Uh, yes. Yes I suppose that will do." The man disappeared back to his wagon to find the relevant crate.
"You intend to drink your way through the battle?" asked Jules, all snide superiority. As usual.
"We each have our own little ways of coping. Mine has served me well."
"Just be sure you're sensible to the needs of your troops, brother."
"In my experience, Jules, once you point your men at the enemy, they either take care of themselves, or they don't. Either way, my drinking isn't going to change that."
The Bishop just huffed, and grumbled back to his own people. But what did that matter? It wasn't like bows and spears were likely to affect the outcome of this battle, anyway.
"De la Tour?" He called.
"Oui Général?" Came the young man, trotting up.
"Unfurl the colours. Remind everyone who the greatest warriors on this battlefield are."
"Oui Général!" He replied, happy and willing.
Dragoons. Now that was a modern man's soldier. None of this 'irregular' nonsense.
He looked along the line at all those tense, expectant blues. It was certainly something.
"Men of Oleon!" He roared, his voice carrying back all the way to the artillery. "I know you can gut this cowardly enemy and wipe them from this isle! But now I want you to prove it to me! Pour le roi!"
The deafening roar of the reply startled his horse, but it brought a smile to his face. The old soldier drew his sabre and prepared to fight his final battle.
Little did he know that at that very moment his king and master had put the final flourish on the paperwork that would confer his family the greatest title they had ever held. Their crowning achievement.
And at the same moment, a young woman in the village beyond the walls of the Chateau Guemain was delivered of a son. Hercule the Younger was a delight to his tired young mother, and met with the approval of his calculating aunt.
Things were all falling into place.
Un premier orgue, datant du début du XVIe siècle, est détruit par les huguenots en 1542. Le collège de chanoines, qui succède aux moines quand l'abbaye est supprimée en 1627, décide d'acquérir un nouvel orgue.
En 1628-1629, un instrument, sans Positif de dos, est construit par Jehan de Herville (1603-1638), de Troyes, et incorporé dans un buffet construit et sculpté par Gaspard Symon, de Tournus. Il est installé en nid d’hirondelle au fond de la nef, accroché sur la console d'une abside en encorbellement qui est démolie pour l'occasion. La console est entièrement cachée par le buffet. La cuve, ornée d'anges, repose sur un cul-de-lampe porté par un Hercule. Au sommet, encore des anges et des grotesques.
En 1698, l’orgue est restauré par Pierre Frangas, de Charlieu (Loire). L'instrument reçoit un relevage en 1807 par un certain Arnaud, de Lyon.
En 1822, un facteur anonyme, élève de Joseph Callinet (1795-1857) restaure l’instrument et ajoute le Positif de dos. Le buffet est classé au titre « immeuble historique » dans la première liste de 1840 et à titre « objet historique » le 21 novembre 1967. En 1863, le facteur Jean-Frédéric Verschneider (1810-1884), de Puttelange (Moselle) ajoute une Soubasse 16’ à la pédale.
Après une restauration partielle en 1870, un premier devis, qui ne sera pas exécuté, est proposé par Joseph Merklin (1819-1905) en 1879. Deux devis, qui eux aussi ne seront pas exécutés, sont présentés en 1906 et en 1907 par le facteur Didier van Caster (1852-1906).
À partir de 1910, l’orgue se dégrade. Il est en si mauvais état qu'en 1912 on ne juge pas nécessaire de le protéger lors de travaux sur les dans l’église. Il devient muet en 1914. Les plâtres tombés dans les tuyaux menacent,, en 1921, de les faire éclater. On procède au nettoyage des étains, bois et sommiers. Le buffet est classé en 1922. De 1926 à 1929, les dons sont sollicités auprès des visiteurs dans le but de faire revivre l'orgue en 1929, année de son tricentenaire.
En 1929, le facteur Édouard Ruche (1902-1052), de Lyon, effectue une restauration et beaucoup de modifications : la traction mécanique est remplacée par une traction pneumatique, une soufflerie électrique est installée, la tuyauterie des anciens jeux réutilisés est réharmonisée tandis que de nouveaux jeux d’anche sont ajoutés. Les travaux se terminent en décembre 1930, mais ne sont achevés qu'en 1932. Mais le travail est de piètre qualité, si bien que l’orgue redevient muet le 16 juillet 1945.
Le 21 novembre 1967, la partie sonore de l'instrument est classée « objet historique ». En 1972, l'organiste Michel Chapuis (1930-2017) est chargé d’étudier la reconstruction. Celle-ci est confiée, en 1973, au facteur Philippe Hartmann (1928-2014), d’Audelange et se déroule de 1974 à 1977. À cette occasion, l’orgue est entièrement démonté et reconstruit avec quatre claviers et transmission mécanique. Mais dès 1984, une nouvelle restauration s’avère nécessaire. Celle-ci est confiée au facteur Jean Deloye, d’Audelange, un ancien associé de Philipe Hartmann. Cet instrument compte 32 jeux, dont 4 en emprunt, sur 4 claviers et pédalier. Une soufflerie mécanique complémentaire, actionnée par des souffleurs, est installée dans la chapelle Saint-Michel. Cette nouvelle restauration s’est achevée en mai 1990 par un récital de Michel Chapuis.
A first organ, dating from the beginning of the 16th century, was destroyed by the Huguenots in 1542. The college of canons, which succeeded the monks when the abbey was suppressed in 1627, decided to acquire a new organ.
In 1628-1629, an instrument, without a back Positif, was built by Jehan de Herville (1603-1638), from Troyes, and incorporated into a case built and sculpted by Gaspard Symon, from Tournus. It was installed in a swallow's nest at the back of the nave, hung on the console of a corbelled apse which was demolished for the occasion. The console is completely hidden by the case. The tub, decorated with angels, rests on a corbel carried by a Hercules. At the top, more angels and grotesques.
In 1698, the organ was restored by Pierre Frangas, from Charlieu (Loire). The instrument was restored in 1807 by a certain Arnaud, from Lyon.
In 1822, an anonymous organ builder, a student of Joseph Callinet (1795-1857) restored the instrument and added the back Positif. The organcase was classified as a "historic building" in the first list of 1840 and as a "historic object" on November 21, 1967. In 1863, organ builder Jean-Frédéric Verschneider (1810-1884), from Puttelange (Moselle) added a 16' Subbass to the pedal.
After a partial restoration in 1870, a first estimate, which was not executed, was proposed by Joseph Merklin (1819-1905) in 1879. Two estimates, which were also not executed, were presented in 1906 and 1907 by the organ builder Didier van Caster (1852-1906).
From 1910 onwards, the organ deteriorated. It was in such poor condition that in 1912 it was not considered necessary to protect it during work on the church. It became silent in 1914. In 1921, the plaster that had fallen into the pipes threatened to burst them. The tin, wood and windchests were cleaned. The organcase was listed in 1922. From 1926 to 1929, donations were solicited from visitors in order to revive the organ in 1929, the year of its tercentenary.
In 1929, the organbuilder Édouard Ruche (1902-1052), from Lyon, carried out a restoration and many modifications: the mechanical action was replaced by a pneumatic action, an electric blower was installed, the pipework of the old reused stops was reharmonized while new reed stops were added. The work was completed in December 1930, but was not finished until 1932. But the work was of poor quality, so much so that the organ became silent again on July 16, 1945.
On November 21, 1967, the sound part of the instrument was classified as a "historical object". In 1972, the organist Michel Chapuis (1930-2017) was commissioned to study the reconstruction. In 1973, it was entrusted to the organ builder Philippe Hartmann (1928-2014), from Audelange, and took place from 1974 to 1977. On this occasion, the organ was completely dismantled and rebuilt with four keyboards and mechanical transmission. However, a new restoration was necessary in 1984. This was entrusted to the organ builder Jean Deloye, from Audelange, a former associate of Philippe Hartmann. This instrument has 32 stops, including 4 borrowed, on 4 keyboards and pedal board. An additional mechanical bellows, operated by blowers, was installed in the Saint-Michel chapel. This new restoration was completed in May 1990 with a recital by Michel Chapuis.

Here is the last view from the hill on the south side of the Port Hercule. Nestled between two hills is the Chapel of Sainte-Dévote, which you can just see in the centre of my photo, surrounded by buildings and roads! It looked quite odd from our hill.
Sainte-Dévote is the patron saint of the Principality of Monaco.
In the very early 4th century, in Corsica (which was a Roman province at that time) the Roman governor, Diocletian, ordered the great persecution of the Christians.
A young Christian, Devote, was arrested, imprisoned and tortured. She died without denying her faith. After her death, the governor of the province ordered for her body to be burnt, but the Christians saved her body and placed it on a boat bound for Africa, where they believed she would receive a proper Christian burial. When a storm struck it is said that a white dove flew from her mouth and guided the boat to Monaco.
This church is built on the site where a storm-struck ship carrying Dévote's body docked in Monaco. The small church dates back to 1870, further refurbished in 1891 in a Neo-Greek style. (From seemonaco.com)
The ravine of Sainte-Dévote lies in the valley of the river Gaumattes. Since 2013, the area of the ward has become (together with Monaco-Ville) a reserved sector, "whose current character must be preserved". With a size of 2.35 hectares (6 acres) it is the smallest ward of the country. It runs roughly along a stretch of territory oriented northwest to southeast, with a length of about 300 metres and a maximum width of 100 metres. At Monaco station (northwest) it borders France, and at the boulevard Albert 1st (south) it comes within around 40 metres of Port Hercules. The ward borders Moneghetti in the southwest, La Condamine in the south and southeast, Monte-Carlo in the northeast, and the French commune of Beausoleil in the northwest. (From Wikipedia)

The Burgh Island Sea Tractor is a feat of engineering. Designed in 1969 by Robert Jackson and recently renovated to her freshly minted state, the Sea Tractor is the only one of its kind in the world, transporting guests across tides to Burgh Island where they can enjoy the art-deco splendour of the Burgh Island Hotel, or enjoy a drink in the historic Pilchard Inn.
The Sea Tractor runs for the guests of the Burgh Island Hotel, and members of the public can join the ride for a small charge each way. This type of tractor was most popular during the early 1930s
Burgh Island Hotel, was the filming location for the 2001 TV episode Evil Under the Sun, staring David Suchet as Hercule Poirot.
One of the most famous place in French Riviera.
