Milky Way star cluster as old as the universe

One of the oldest known celestial bodies in the universe wanders around the Milky Way. Cluster M92 is a dense ball of stars about 27,000 light-years distant from Earth and is about 13.8 billion years old, researchers report in a paper submitted to ArXiv.org. Newly refined age estimates show that the star cluster is nearly as old as the Universe. Accurately determining the age of star clusters like M92 will help us put a limit on the age of the universe itself. It could also help solve cosmic conundrums about how the universe evolved, Science News reported. Dartmouth College astronomer Martin Ying says its age is “on the edge of what other groups have estimated for the universe.” “It helps set a lower bound on the age of the universe. You wouldn’t expect M92 to predate the universe, would you?” Globular clusters like M92 are dense clusters of stars that are thought to have all formed at the same time. This makes it easier for astronomers to determine the age of stars. Stars born wi
