For stars in the main sequence, which color of stars tend to have higher absolute brightness? The HR diagram is shown with Absolute Brightness on the y axis from negative four to six and Surface Temperature on the x axis from 40,000 to 2,500 degrees Celsius. There are several dots plotted between four and six absolute brightness and 10,000 to 2,500 degrees Celsius labeled Supergiants. There are several dots plotted between 1.5 and three absolute brightness and 7,500 to 2,500 degrees Celsius labeled Giants. There are several dots plotted between negative four and negative two absolute brightness and 30,000 to 7,500 degrees Celsius labeled Dwarfs. Down the middle, there are several dots plotted diagonally from ordered pair 40,000 and five down to 2,500 and negative three labeled Main Sequence. White stars Yellow stars Blue stars Red stars

most historians agree that gabriel mouton, the vicar of st. paul’s church in lyons, france, is the “founding father” of the metric system. he proposed a decimal system of measurement in 1670. mouton based it on the length of one minute of arc of a great circle of the earth (now called a nautical mile, 1852 meters). he also proposed the swing-length of a pendulum with a frequency of one beat per second as the unit of length (about 25 cm). a pendulum beating with this length would have been fairly easy to produce, thus facilitating the widespread distribution of uniform standards. over the years, his work was revised, improved, and extended by a number of french scientists.

the political sponsor of weights and measures reform in the french revolutionary national assembly was the bishop of autun, better known as talleyrand. under his auspices, the french academy appointed several committees to carry out the work of developing a usable system of weights and measures for france. one of the committees recommended a decimalized measurement system based upon a length equal to one ten-millionth of the length of a quadrant of the earth’s meridian (i.e., one ten-millionth of the distance between the equator and the north pole).
