"Who put up the money to bring back such an old star?"

All the old stars have long since gone, and it would seem the sun is following them.

The oldest stars are thought to be around 13.7 billion years old.

Today we know that a supernova is the death of an old star.

The then 46 year old star never looks her age and this time was no exception.

We hadn't seen anything but the same old stars you can see from Earth.

The old stars probably formed from 12 to 6 billion years ago.

They looked down into their own reflections and those of the old stars.

The universe cannot be half the age of its oldest stars.

Instead, both seem dominated by very old stars, with ages of up to 10 billion years.
