Simplified illustration of the proposed model: a cloud experiences external forces from massive stars, shown in blue, that push it away. This force compresses the cloud, giving it a comet-like shape. Stars then form at the head of the cloud, moving at a velocity v1. As the cloud continues to accelerate, this cycle repeats, leading to the formation of a second group of stars with a higher velocity, v2.
