Question

Red and orange stars are found evenly spread throughout the galactic disk, but blue stars are typically found... only in or near star-forming clouds.

Answer 1

Blue stars are typically found in the arms of spiral galaxies, as well as in other regions of intense star formation, such as in the cores of star-forming galaxies and in star-forming regions within galaxies. Blue stars are also found in clusters, which are groups of stars that are gravitationally bound to each other. These clusters can contain hundreds or even thousands of blue stars, and they are often located in the spiral arms of galaxies.
