The Infancy of the Stars

Baby Stars Hatching in Orion's Head - Science Blog

Just the words alone have this beautiful ring to them--"baby stars hatching in Orion's head." It sounds perfectly mythological, like Athena and Zeus. It's stories like this one that inspire comic and sci-fi writers. You have new beings erupting into existence through pressure. You have a demi-god birthing the bringers of life out of his own head. New suns in their infancy, waiting to move into adulthood and gain their own planetary systems.
