With its ~3 degree field-of-view, Eddington is going to perform a deep photometric analysis of selected areas that will include a variety of objects of great astrophysical interest. We discuss the profound impact that Eddington will have on the study of the physical properties of young stars with special attention onto the following aspects: (I) Statistical study of non-periodic variability in pre- and post-main sequence stars associated with stellar instability and with partial occultation by protoplanetary circumstellar dust clouds. (II) Search of periodic variation associated with stellar rotation and binarity. (III) A hierarchical study of circumstellar and interstellar matter of low surface brightness, down to protoplanetary disk sizes.
