| Zusammenfassung: | A star-forming region is a region of the celestial sphere within which predominately very young stellar objects (YSOs) are located and their formation is likely occurring. discovery by the infrared telescope, the Herschel Space Observatory, in conjunction with other ground based telescopes, determined that black patches of space in certain areas encompassing a star formation are not dark nebulae but actually vast holes of empty space. The exact cause of this phenomenon is still being investigated, although it has been hypothesized that narrow jets of gas from some of the young stars in the region punctured the sheet of dust and gas, as well as, powerful radiation from a nearby mature star may have helped to create the hole. This is a previously unknown and unexpected step in the star-forming process. Such is the case of the area NGC 1999 and its star V380 Orionis. |
