Researchers can then mine the data collected by Luminosity to learn more about human cognition.
Looking even further ahead, the Sun will increase its luminosity by about 40% in three billion years.
Mr. BERNS: It certainly changed what he was trying to achieve, which was to create this notion of luminosity.
Here, I swim through a canyon filled with green water of such violent luminosity that it's like breaststroking through a radioactive Midori cocktail.
The model corrected for possible distortions in luminosity resulting from non-economic sources like reflections on large bodies of water, which can distort satellite images.
"I don't see much evidence that any of them have overdone it in the sun, " he says, recommending a tinted moisturizer for light but effective coverage and luminosity.
The same luminosity illuminates the Virgin's face, strikes the crystal scepter clutched by the Angel, and dances all over the bejeweled accoutrements he is wearing with such pride.

It is similar to a Hertzsprung-Russell (HR) diagram but the latter plots luminosity (or absolute magnitude) rather than just apparent brightness and a knowledge of the distances of the stars plotted is also needed.
ENGADGET: 9-gigapixel image of the Milky Way reminds us just how small we truly are
The most basic of the indexes rates a world's suitability for life based on its place within a habitable zone, which is calculated by a planet's distance from its parent star, the star's luminosity and temperature.
Though Dixon wears his eco credentials lightly, his crusade to make low-voltage lighting attractive is second to none, as illustrated by Luminosity, a collection of lamps, lights and shades that he also presented last month in Milan.
Scientists have used chromophores for decades to detect chemicals, but, until Fido, they weren't sensitive enough to detect trace explosives because each molecule of TNT vapor would switch off just a single chromophore, with the result that faint wisps of evil chemicals caused no visible change in luminosity.
