Space/Science » in reply to re: Our Sun's family... - cool... 'stellar DNA'. Thanks, Raoul!

That's something I've always wondered about

Two things, actually:

(1) Which other nearby stars came from the same stellar nursery as Sol?

(2) Where, if there is one, is the remnant of the supernova that triggered the collapse?

Now I understand: we couldn't determine an answer to #1 until now. The results will be fun to know, especially if some of them turn out to be visible in our sky -- or better still, old familiars.

Does #2 have an answer?
