Abstract
Some simple arguments are made to question the most popular model of our sun, which assumes that the sun consists mostly of hydrogen and that the fusion of hydrogen at ≅ 107 °K is primarily responsible for its release of energy. An alternative “Fe-Core sun” model is suggested. The correlated chemical and isotopic heterogeneities of elements in meteorites strongly suggest that our solar system was produced from the debris of a single supernova. Cores of the sun and the four inner planets formed in the central Fe-rich region of the supernova debris that made the solar system.
