On The Universe this week they were talking about the impending destruction of the pillars of creation.

I suspect that in itself will touch off a wave of star creation as the shock wave passes through the cloud.

It’ll be a big kablooey as the wave of crud expands in all direction and starts impacting those stars (and planets?). It’ll disrupt them, but they’ll also gain mass. The free-floating gases and debris will wind up moving into different trajectories, and if light enough, swept along by the wave.
