The life cycles of massive stars have a major impact on the evolution of galaxies, while in turn, position in galaxy has a major impact on the efficiency and type of star formation which occurs in a molecular cloud (see e.g. Luna et al. 2006). However, exactly how massive stars form, on what timescales, and how they shape their environments during this active and energetic phase is poorly understood.
