The three stars are the first to be discovered in the region -- previous attempts to find them were unsuccessful because there is so much dust standing between us and our galaxy's core. Spitzer was able to find the newborns with its sharp infrared eyes, which can cut through dust. REUTERS/NASA-CAL /Handout (UNITED STATES SCI TECH) FOR EDITORIAL USE ONLY.
