This is from a discussion of the public's interest in space-related matters. I'm unsure how best to translate "pouponnières d’étoiles" and am under a bit of time pressure today. Anyone able to enlighten me? Thanks in advance for any suggestions...
Notre fascination reste toujours aussi vive devant les images des pouponnières d’étoiles ou des trous noirs dévorant des galaxies, ou devant les images rapportées par les missions d’exploration des planètes du système solaire.

stellar nursery
Seems to be the term used. Although there are also refs for star nursery.

what is wrong with a "a nursery for stars"?
You could also use the term "a ckluster of stars" but this assumes more that the stars are "Fully grown"
