 Interstellar Cloud from HST

• Site of new star formation in a vast nebula. 200 stars are

located at the heart of this cloud.
Proto-planetary disk around Young Stars
these structures are the birthplace where
stars are formed

• A view of a small
portion of the Orion
nebula reveals five
young stars. Four of
the stars are
surrounded by gas and
dust trapped as the
stars formed but were
left in orbit. These
might possibly evolve
into protoplanetary
objects.
