[Obviously, if they were any further away, or if the random supernovas blew up too early to become part of the solar system's dust cloud, or were traveling too fast to be captured by what would become part of the solar system's dust cloud, or were thrown out too slow to get here in time, or were formed but were inside another star gravity field and never thrown back into space, even more dust would be lost in space, but let's keep the problem easy.
