The Earth is full of so many metals and heavy elements, this region of space must have experienced supernovae or neutron star collisions or any of a number of astronomical phenomena. Has anyone ever attempted to figure out what must have happened in the past to build our Solar System in exactly this way?

The current model says that our solar system and everything in it came from a previous generation start which went nova. It’s core collapsed to form our sun while all of the ejecta form the rest of the solar system: planets, moons, asteroids, comets, etc.
