"This information can help scientists understand the role that interplanetary dust played in supplying water and carbonaceous molecules to a young Earth early in our planet's formation history."
An area of active study. Asteroids, meteorites, comets, and carbon abundance in the solar nebula and accretion disk, as well as pebble accretion reports. Earth should have much more carbon it seems in various reports. Then there is the star formation from a gas could, e.g. the solar nebula for creating the Sun and solar system. New studies in Orion show models concerning accretion vs. core-collapse, can make a real difference in star sizes formed. Surprise twist suggests stars grow competitively,

My observation. This report (Surprise twist...) suggest that the solar nebula model used to explain the origin of our Sun and solar system, is based upon time and chance. The solar nebula could just as easily collapse and form a very small star or very large stars, depending upon various initial masses assumed in the model and accretion vs. core-collapse assumptions. The Earth could just as easily end up orbiting a 0.1 solar mass red dwarf or a star larger than Sirius. Combine with asteroid impacts, meteors, comets, and pebble accretion, a dice roll hoping for the best
The common motif I see, catastrophism is used throughout to explain our origins today
Various ancient cosmogonies have the same motif e.g. Babylonian, Assyrian, etc.
