The Sun, as well as all stars and planets, are born in regions where dust and gas accumulates. Among these star-forming regions, the most interesting and spectacular are those where high-mass stars are present. These stars greatly impact the formation of stars and planets. By showing spectacular recent data from space- and ground-based telescopes, we will show how we are deciphering this process.
