The oldest sun-like star with planets discovered¸ spinning around her. In practice – it is almost our solar a system that has only significantly aged.

Found among the vast expanses of our universe, this the “old woman” was the Kepler astronomical satellite telescope. Why is it named – Kepler-444, and is recognized as the oldest dreamlike luminary in the Universe, because it “pulls” by age by 11.2 billion years, while our solar system is more than half younger – 4.5 billion years. The very universe, to note, about 14 billion years.

What do these new data from the depths of space mean? Firstly, it turns out that similar stellar systems with planets, suitable for biological life, formed immediately with the emergence of the universe, and not at any particular stage development, as scientists previously believed. Secondly, you can now completely to admit that in the universe such star systems can be lots of.

As for the “sun” Kepler-444, then around it revolves whole five planets. All of them are smaller than our Earth, and even to their luminary ten closer, why the year there is only a little more than our month. All this means that the radiation on the planets is extremely high, and liquid there cannot be water – that is, biological life identical to earthly, excluded. Perhaps in seven billion years our The solar system will be similar to the current “old woman” Kepler-444, and other young civilizations will study it, nothing different from today’s ours …
