Some of the newest stars are in the Orion nebula which is visible this time of year. The nebula is the fuzzy patch just south of Orion's belt. It is a stellar nursery making new stars from the gas in the nebula. In the center of the nebula is the trapezium consisting of four bright and two dimmer stars. It may be that early astronomers did not see all six stars because they had not been formed long enough for the light to reach us yet.

The youngest stars in the galazy are located on the edge to the spiral winds. They are often blue in color.
