While scientists know some facts about the stars’ birth, there are still many details that they don’t yet fully understand. There are some questions still unanswered, such as how many stars are born out of each gas cloud, how big they are, and how to know which of them will also have planets.
In an attempt to answer these questions, scientists surveyed five nearby star-forming regions, creating a zoomable atlas stitched out of more than one million images! It helps to answer important questions astronomers have about star formation and lets everyone explore magical places where the stars are born.
