What do all the stars in the Orion Association have in common?
What will be an ideal response?
Like the stars in more compact open clusters, they are all born at about the same time, at the leading edge of the spiral arms, and thus have similar compositions. They tend to be very massive, collapsing rapidly, and very luminous as well.
