Why are star clusters ideal 'laboratories' for stellar evolution?

Star clusters are ideal for figuring out certain things of stellar evolution because every star in a cluster is made of basically the same material and therefore has the same composition, they are basically at the same distance from the earth, and they all basically move the same way.
This is ideal because it can be tough to determine whether some stars are closer or farther away (brightness would make you think that a brighter star is closer but this is not always the case) but looking at 2 stars in the same cluster, if one looks brighter, it actually is!
These clusters make it easy for astronomers to see how stars grow up!

What does Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium predict will happen to the population allele and genotype frequencies after 1 generation of random mating?
What all the ideal non-real conditions of the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium predict; no evolution takes place. Mating is assortative, non-random in the real world and sexual selection is at work when assortative mating takes place, thus evolution.
