At about 7:00 below the blue reflection nebula; there appears two dark orb like objects. They are surrounded by cloud like material. Could these ignite into future stars? Any other thoughts on these???

My usual mind would say dense dusty star forming regions - maybe some protostars in progress- though my inquisitive mind says, don't they look like they're moving....?
