Abstract

The Solar System provides a unique fossil record of a single star formation event. Investigation of a variety of materials such as interplanetary dust, meteorites, and comets may provide us with information about physical processes which operate on scales totally inaccessible to study in observable star forming regions. However, our increasing ability to probe on-going star formation regions on subarc-second scales allows us to gather information about cosmogonic events on large scales. This paper investigates the overlap between the study of other star-forming regions and the Solar System.
