Thanks Duane, this is a good find. This quote caught my eye:
Quote:
Over the past four decades, the accuracy with which solar models are calculated has been steadily refined as the result of increased observational and experimental information about the input parameters (such as nuclear reaction rates and the surface of abundances of different elements), more accurate calculations of constituent quantities (such as radiative opacity and equation of state), the inclusion of new physical effects (such as element diffusion), and the
development of faster computers and more precise stellar evolution codes.

The "Standard Solar Model" is constantly evolving through hard work and observation, but it says nothing about how the sun formed. There must be different technical terms than name the current model of how the sun formed. Any idea what this name is?
