Young Star Rebels Against Its Parent Cloud

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/12/111215095237.htm

Summary: a giant cloud of hydrogen gas illuminated by a bright young star. it will soon quieten down by entering the main sequence, the adult stage of stellar life. the material spewing off the star not only gives the cloud its hourglass shape but also makes the hydrogen gas in it is very hot.

Critique: its very interesting that its kind of comparing a star to a teenager. also that clouds have attitudes.
