An effective method of determining the age of the universe is to look at the age of the oldest star. The constellation was born shortly after the birth of the universe. The current age of the universe is estimated to be 13.6 billion years (13.6990 +/- 0.021 billion years), or 1.38 billion years. The oldest embryos are thought to have formed 300 million years after the Big Bang.

We know that the universe was born 1.36 billion years ago. So, for good reason, all the stars in the universe must be less than 13.7 billion years old. But Methuselah was prevented. NASA scientists have discovered an exceptional star, the Methuselah (a star known to scientists since 1912) through the Hubble Telescope. Now it is ready to take a hit. -.60 billion years) where the age of the universe is 1360 crore years! Which can be a maximum of 600 million years here and there.

Fold the forehead of astronomers. A group of scientists think that it must have been wrong to find out the age of the universe!

There is so much that surrounds the star, its name is HD 140283. The distance is not more than 190 light years away from the earth. Scientists now know that the amount of iron in the star is very small. That means it was born at a time when there was very little iron in the universe. And that means its age is at least close to the age of the universe.

So is it wrong to determine the age of the universe? Let's see if the age of the universe solves the problem.
