Interesting hypothesis B. Can there be a zone around a supernova where it is strong enough to accelerate planetary objects but weak enough to not just turn them into dust and gas?

Does it matter if it turns into dust or gas? As long as it stays clumped enough, we might still be screwed.

I'd assume once a moon is a bunch of dust, it disperses so fast that what arrives in our solar system is not an issue for us, just part of the background galactic cloud.
