First Star to the Right...

Thanks to astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, Superman knows where he was born. The writers of Action Comics included Dr. Tyson in a storyline about Superman seeking the location of Krypton, his homeworld.

And as usual DC Comics honcho Dan DiDio exhibits a lack of clues by suggesting that finding Krypton (which orbits the red dwarf star LHS 2520) is a "milestone" in the DC universe. Several stories have Superman or other folks headed back to the site of the destroyed planet, so Tyson's effort is not the first time Krypton's been found. But on the other hand, this is also not the first time DiDio been's a dork, so I guess it evens out.
