Baby star still throwing a tantrum, burning bright before settling down.
means A young star in its first few million years, prone to violent stellar storms and dramatic brightness swings as it contracts toward the main sequence.
from Named after T Tauri, a variable star discovered in the constellation Taurus in 1852; astronomers later realized it belonged to a whole class of newborns doing exactly what it was doing—the prototype became the category.
