Ha nacido una estrella. Any way to use estar with this, what about "está naciendo una estrella" a star is being born? So haber access the has been born, and estar is for the act of being born? What about "está siendo nacido una estrella"? Gracias.

I would say: "Nace una estrella" if a star is being born right now, though I suppose that "está naciendo una estrella" is also correct. "Está siendo nacido" sounds odd.

A star is born - is poetic language - which is not always easy to translate.

It means "A star has been born" which might be " 'Una estrella ha sido nacido”
