--- author: Eric Wagoner date: '2002-07-19T02:27:24' draft: false title: Fringe Solar Birth Theory --- A pair of astrophysicists at the school I surly would have gone to had I remained in-state are advancing a theory that the solar system did not convalesce from a nebula of interstellar gasses, but rather [from the remnants of a supernova](http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2002/07/020717080229.htm), the core of which is still embedded at the center of our sun. It's certainly not mainstream astrophysics, but it may be right.
