Abstract
The Sun formed 4.6 Gy ago, probably as a fragment of a collapsing gas and dust cloud in close association with other stars, from which cluster it was ejected rather early. Conditions in the Galaxy then were not remarkably different from what they are now. Material of the solar system was processed through at least two supernova events within ~200 My before its formation, the last of them recent enough (~2 My) that it plausibly influenced the collapse which formed then Sun.
