Triggered star formation is simply star formation resulting from the compression of a gas/dust cloud due to the influence of a nearby star. Computer simulations suggest that this process should occur, but it is very challenging to actually observe it in action. This talk will describe a study of a small star-forming region that provides some of the best observational evidence that this process does occur in nature. At this talk, you'll get to see how astronomers use radio observations to identify regions likely to form stars, and how they use infrared observations to identify and classify newly formed stars. As a bonus you'll also get to hear about some really big rockets!
