NASA has unveiled breath-taking photos of 50 baby stars being born - which give a "glimpse" into what our system would have looked like billions of years ago, according to scientists.
The US space agency unveiled the latest snapshot on Wednesday, revealing the baby stars in a cloud complex 390 light-years away.
According to scientists, the region is relatively small and quiet yet full of illuminated gases, jets of hydrogen and even dense cocoons of dust with the delicate beginnings of even more stars.
