Default Galactic fossil is 13.2 billion years old

"Galactic fossil is 13.2 billion years old

ABC Science Online
Monday, 14 May 2007

Astronomers say a star in our galaxy is 13.2 billion years old, which
makes it nearly as ancient as the universe itself.

The star, named HE 1523-0901, would have formed almost at the dawn of
time, just a fraction after the birth of the universe 13.7 billion
years ago."
