The Orion Nebula

The Orion Nebula is a Amazing Star Factory. Approximately 700 stars are in the making right now,and a few stars grow bigger than others.It looks like a hole because the center of the Orion contains the biggest stars that give of strong stellar
wind that pushes the surrounding gas around it to give as a glimpse of a center of a nebula.    
The big stars that blast out strong stellar wind that pushes the disc of gas around other stars away to form a 'Tadpole' looking solar system.

The star, Know as Herbig-Haro 502, looks like a Tadpole due to the strong stellar wind from the big stars.

Birth of a Solar System
The Orion nebula is one of trillions of nebulas in the Universe that produce countless baby stars,and many of them are still in formation-which means a birth of a Solar system! Gravity from a star sucks gases around it to form a "disic" that surrounds the star.The 'disic' is made out of dust and gases, which will eventually form planets.

in the next millions of years, a solar system will have formed.
