You: Why Dave; why now?
Me: Well, I've a two talented kids; the younger said, 'Stop with the lectures.' Then asked, 'Dad, can I help you set up a blog?' Moments later, Me: 'OK, that's a great idea, thinkin' they might just read it someday.

Building blocks of early Solar System came from nearby dying star | COSMOS magazine
History, Science, BECStrong winds from a nearby dying star may have injected radioactive material into the early Solar System, according to a new model of star death.
The findings challenge the theory that radioactive isotopes trapped in meteorites from the dawn of our Solar System originated in a supernova. They also shed light on the origins of water on Earth, says a study in the journal Meteoritics and Planetary Science, and may help astronomers predict how common water is on other planets.
Unlike the last post, this is ‘Inter-Galactic’ Physical-Politics. A dying star near us, or a colliding star into our sun, or visa versa? I don’t see another star just gliding up to our sun and ‘dying’. How are huge suns made anyway? Wouldn’t it be that they attract more as they grow larger, and only a smaller star would be attracted into a larger star? Or if there were a massive amount of dark energy surrounding a star, would that ‘kill’ it? It might also convert the dark energy into dark matter and be hidden in places like planets cores or in cold distant planets. The devil is in the radioactive isotope details, perhaps.
