... evidence from the CMB [cosmic microwave background] and elsewhere is currently consistent with the universe having a flat geometry. Note, though, that the only thing that we can ever really say is that the cosmos(i. e., all there is, whether observable by us or not) is much bigger than the patch we see. It could be, for example, that the cosmos is actually closed and finite but we happen to be in a slightly underdense region that looks open or flat.  4, fiche 1, Anglais, - Euclidean%20geometry

"Star clusters" are physically related groups of stars having their members less widely separated than are the stars around them. The common motion of the members of a cluster through the star fields suggests their common origin by the condensing and fracturing of a large cosmic gas cloud. Because the stars of a particular cluster are practically at the same distance from us, they may be compared fairly one with another. Although their ages are about the same, the members have different masses, and the more massive ones have evolved the faster.... Star clusters are associated with other galaxies as well as with our own. They are of two types : galactic, or open clusters and globular clusters.  1, fiche 3, Anglais, - star%20cluster

Tennis players are given points based on their performances over the last twelve months (the process is called "ranking"). The ratings are issued three times a year and are used by organizing committees to determine the seeds for an ATP-sanctioned tournament and the players that are to be admitted to the draw if there are more entries than positions (the process is called "seeding"). The top seeds (8 in a draw of 32, 16 in a draw of 128) are positioned on the draw (or board), the first two (No. 1 seed, No. 2 seed) being located at opposite ends of the draw and others, placed in positions specified by tournament regulations. The other seeded players (24 in a draw of 32, 112 in a draw of 128) are usually subject to draw (their names are drawn blindly from a cup) and registered on the official draw sheet indicating who opposes whom. The process allows for unseeded players to fill the final entries and intends to have a match between the best two players in the final.  4, fiche 6, Anglais, - seeding

Naturally emitted microwaves are the target of this unusual telescope.

Named after the pioneering Scottish physicist who gave us a fundamental understanding of electricity and magnetism, the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope is used to investigate a part of the electromagnetic spectrum that is only now beginning to be explored. The telescope is capable of exploring radio waves with a range of about 0. 3 to 2 mm... JCMT was built jointly by the United Kingdom and the Netherlands and is funded by the UK, Canada and the Netherlands. It is operated from the Joint Astronomy Centre in Hilo, Hawaii and used by astronomers from the funding countries and world-wide, who visit the observatory for the few days that they are scheduled to use the telescope each year.  1, fiche 10, Anglais, - James%20Clerk%20Maxwell%20Telescope
