Segue 3

Segue 3 is a faint star cluster of the Milky Way galaxy discovered in 2010 in the data obtained by Sloan Digital Sky Survey. It is located in the Pegasus constellation at the distance of about 17 kpc from the Sun and moves away from it with the velocity of 167.1 ± 1.5 km/s.

Segue 3 is extremely faint—its visible absolute magnitude is estimated at −1.2 or even at about 0.0 ± 0.8, which means that the cluster is only 100 to 250 times brighter than the Sun. Its small radius—of about 2.1 pc—is typical for the galactic globular clusters. The cluster has a slightly flattened shape and shows some evidence of the tidal disruption.

The metallicity of Segue's 3 stars is [Fe/H] ≈ −1.7, which means that they contain 70 times less heavy elements than the Sun. These stars are more than 12 billion year old. Segue 3 appears to be one of the faintest globular clusters of the Milky Way.

Segue

A segue ⁱ/ˈsɛɡweɪ/ (Italian pronunciation: [ˈseːɡwe]) is a smooth transition from one topic or section to the next.

The term is derived from Italian segue, "follows".

In music

In music, segue is a direction to the performer. It means continue (the next section) without a pause. The term attacca is used synonymously.

For written music it implies a transition from one section to the next without any break. In improvisation, it is often used for transitions created as a part of the performance, leading from one section to another.

In live performance, a segue can occur during a jam session, where the improvisation of the end of one song progresses into a new song. Segues can even occur between groups of musicians during live performance. For example, as one band finishes its set, members of the following act replace members of the first band one by one, until a complete band swap occurs.

In recorded music, a segue is a seamless transition between one song and another. The effect is often achieved through beatmatching, especially on dance and disco recordings, or through arrangements that create the effect of a musical suite, a classical style also used in many progressive rock recordings. The songs may further contain a lyrical connection or overall theme as well.

Segue is a band composed of mostly musicians from Berklee College of Music, run by Ryan Garrett Greenfield; Indie/Jazz/Rock/Pop.

Segue has a rival band: Segue (pronounced SEG-way) is a San Francisco Bay Area-based rock band. Formed in January 1994, in San Rafael, California, Segue blends rock ‘n’ roll with blues, pop, country and funk. They have adopted the sounds of artists such as The Black Keys, R.L. Burnside, The Mother Hips, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Black Crowes, and others.

The band’s debut album Segue was released on Trip ‘n Spin Recordings in 1998. The single “Move On” was featured on San Francisco radio station 104.5 FM – KFOG.

The second album Escape Without Injury was released on Seguesounds Records in August 2002. The single “Hot Tonight” is featured in the Second Set Media film Ripple Effect, released in 2001. The film contains footage of the best pro surfers in the world competing at the Quiksilver Pro Surf Contest in Tahiti. The song is played during the film’s final and most climactic pipeline scene.
