They form when knots of gas gravitationally collapse to create about 1 million newborn stars per cluster. Image credit: NASA, ESA, STScI, Jayanne English (University of Manitoba)

    When spectacular cosmic events such as galaxy collisions occur, it sets off a reaction to form new stars, and possibly new planets that otherwise would not have formed...
