Re: Astronomers Find a Record-Breaking Star That's Nearly as Old as The Universe
Hello Eric. A fascinating report here. Star SMSS J160540.18–144323.1 appears to be older than the globular clusters, which are considered to be among the oldest remnants of the creation. It's even older than me. Thanks for finding and posting this link Eric, and the best of regards.

Well I'm a slightly later generation star than you, but I still have plenty of helium and (hot air) left in me personally.Makuser wrote: ↑Tue May 19, 2020 8:49 pm Hello Eric.
