The Orion Nebula, a stellar formation area located 1, 350 million light years away, is captured by the Vista telescope, the biggest in the world, at Paranal hill, Chile.

Stars in the process of formation, called young stellar objects or YSOs, are embedded in the compact pinkish nebulae seen here, but are otherwise hidden from the prying eyes of optical telescopes.

在形成过程中的恒星，被称为年轻恒星或者yso，都嵌在了你所看到的紧凑的粉色星云之中，不过如果通过光学望远镜来观察的话是看不到的。

Supernova remnants play an important role in stellar evolution by enriching space with heavy elements, and triggering new star formation by compressing interstellar gas.

超新星残骸以重元素填充宇宙空间，压缩星际气体促进新恒星的形成，因而在星体演化过程中扮演重要角色。

The presence of multiple orbiting companions is incompatible with the mechanism of stellar formation so they must be planets after all.

ECONOMIST: Planet hunting

Besides requiring astronomers to dream up a new mnemonic for their stellar classification, the existence of a grey area between stars and planets reveals the extent to which the processes of planetary and stellar formation are still a mystery.

ECONOMIST: Twinkle, twinkle, giant planet

Astronomers have long theorized that there are many planets that have drifted away from their home stars, whether it's a too-loose gravitational pull during the planet's formation or a stellar tug-of-war.
