... 2006 May 1 . Open Cluster NGC 290: A Stellar Jewel Box . ... Explanation: Jewels don't shine this bright -- only stars do. Like gems in a jewel box, though, the stars of open cluster NGC 290 glitter in a beautiful display of brightness and color. ... NGC 290 and other open clusters are good laboratories for studying how stars of different masses evolve , since all the open cluster's stars were born at about the same time. ... About APOD | ...

Stellar Clusters are very useful laboratories for empirically studying stellar evolution. ... All cluster stars are at the same distance . All cluster stars have the same physical age . ... CM diagram Young Cluster In this case we see the Main Sequence fully represented. The blue dots represent massive stars with short main sequence lifetimes. ... Thus, identifying the most massive star which is still on the main sequence is an effective means of determining the age of a stellar cluster. ...

... Unlike clients such as Shout and IceDJ this permits the broadcast of live audio, rather than prerecorded mp3's. LiveIce was developed after the appearance of IceCast to provide the Real Time streaming functionality which makes it a viable solution for broadcasting. It is based on the guts of 2 of my previous works - Mp3Serv, the first mp3 broadcasting system & Mp3Mixer, a toy which allows the user to 'Mix' with mp3 streams. ... LiveIce XMMS sourcecode is available here . ...

... Wavelet analysis works most convincingly on complicated data sets. ... These wavelet maps promptly represent an overwhelming amount of information, that must be reduced in order to be useful. The reduction can take two basic different forms, and countless variants. In the sift-and-discard approach, features of interest are enhanced and the rest is removed from the wavelet maps: applications such as denoising or event identification are representative. ...
