If you have a really big gas cloud I think you just get multiple stars, not particularly in a "solar system". There are some telescope images of stellar nurseries where you can see several young stars in the same gas cloud.

You can see the Pleiades with the naked eye.

Surprise so many uncertainties of the age and even distance of them https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleiades

Most of the distance measurements are within a percent of each other, except for a single survey with is 10% off all the others. That is not such a large uncertainty as to be of significant note.
