Amazingly active area, and relatively (no pun intended) close by. Multiple emission, reflection and absorption nebulas all visible within such a small region. Fifty stars roughly within a light year of each other -- compare that to our neighboorhood, where the closest star (stars actually, since Proxima Centauri is part of a triple-star system) is 4.2ly distant.

Millions of years from now, these new stars will have drifted apart, the dust will clear a bit and by that time many of these will have planets. Such worlds can never know night was we do -- with that many luminous sources nearby, even through the remaining haze of the molecular cloud from which they spawned, at their darkest it would be akin to a cloudy day.
