Halley (lunar crater)

Halley is a lunar impact crater that is intruding into the southern wall of the walled plain Hipparchus. To the southwest of Halley is the large crater Albategnius, and due east lies the slightly smaller Hind. On the 1645 map by Michael van Langren, the crater is called Gansii, for the gansa (a kind of wild swan) of Francis Godwins The Man in the Moone.

The rim of Halley is somewhat worn, and a scar in the lunar surface passes through the western rim, forming a valley that runs to the south-southeast, near the rim of Albategnius. The interior floor of Halley is relatively flat.

Halley (surname)

Halley is a surname of English origin, meaning: one who lived at, or near the hall in the grove or open place in a wood. The derivation is probably from the Olde English pre 7th Century use of Old English heall ‘hall’, ‘large house’ + leah ‘woodland clearing’. following enforced land clearances. At the height of the wool industry in the 14th Century, whole villages in Derbyshire, were cleared to make way for sheep pastures. Combined with the later 18th century Highland Clearances it is estimated that there are between seven and ten thousand such villages that have disappeared from British maps. Following the introduction of personal taxation in the 13th century, in England, surnames became required. The earliest recorded use of the surname Halley is held in the village of Beeley, Derbyshire, England, for a witness called Georgii Halley, dated 27 January 1538. the Beeley Parish church records show an Anna Halley, who was christened on the 27 December 1577 and an Elizabeth Halley who married John Caleshaw on 13 August 1567.

Halley (nightclub)

Halley was a 1980s Argentine nightclub.

Halley was opened in 1985, and it was initially a common nightclub. As both the manager Roberto Ricci and the DJ Jorge Peso liked heavy metal, they included some heavy metal songs. Mario Ian, singer of Alakran, proposed to make a concert in Halley; which was a huge success. There were few music venues for Argentine heavy metal bands at the time, so Ricci and the owner Alberto Corapi thought it would be profitable to turn the nightclub into a music hall.

There was a short-lived attempt to move Halley to the Corrientes and Junín streets. It was closed shortly after it.
