Clusters

Q:
I'm looking for pictures/scientific information about Capella
and his system. I'm a musician and my latest work is based on
the Capella Legends (fallen angels). Some people say that part
of human kind came from this solar system and I intend to do a
musical explanation telling these myths and legends.
A:
For some astronomical background on Capella and Chandra
observations, check
http://chandra.harvard.edu/chronicle/080999/cappella.html
More details are available in the scientific papers:

http://xxx.lanl.gov/abs/astro-ph/0003099

Lots of good data, but any evidence for intelligent life around
Capella is still in the realm of myth and legend.
