Herbig Ae/Be stars

Herbig Ae/Be stars are young, massive stars still in the process of forming. They are primarily located in regions of star formation, where gas and dust surrounding them can create spectacular views. These stars are brighter than the Sun and often have disks of material around them, which can lead to the formation of planets. Classified by their spectral types, Herbig Ae stars are A-type (like the Sun but larger), while Be stars are B-type, known for their rapid rotation. Their study helps astronomers understand stellar evolution and the birth of planetary systems.
