"Scientists have discovered an "impossible" star which appears to be older than the universe.

The mysterious star Methuselah appears to be between 14 and 15 billion years old - a bit of an issue considering the universe itself is known to have come into existence 13.8 billion years ago."

I read that Methuselah was once thought to be 16 billion years old, but after refining the distance it was decreased to 14.5 billion years old. Also, scientists still aren't 100% positive of its age. From what I understand, they can still refine the distance even more which will likely put its age under the calculated universe's age.

the text is wrong.....now it is 70billion years old, and only slowed down enough for stars last 16.7billion... the big bang is now the big slow down lol but 70 billion years ago a bang

is english your first language?

do you think your own typing looks fine?

My grammer is very poor. do you say, you can't understand that i said, the big bang was 70billion years ago? and stars only formed 16.7billion years ago..

i can't make heads or tails of what your saying

Credibility?
