It just keeps getting harder and harder for a young star to move out to the suburbs and start a solar system. Darn late stage entropy.

So if I am keeping track... •Sol formed near a Wolf-Rayet bubble yielding non standard stellar chemistry •Our Solar system does not have a group of similar planets in it's retinue like other systems who's planets we can see •All the weirdness with Luna and her relationship with Terra •Having two gas giants in the outer system rather than the inner •And now Sol was actually born in a galactic orbit thousands of light years from here and was flung into the position it is now. ... More and more the mediocracy principle seemingly does not apply to the Sol system.

Fascinating. Now we have over 6,000 stars we should be looking at for signs of life.
