"The oldest star in our galaxy whose age astronomers can determine is called HD 140283. It's estimated to be 14.5 billion years (give or take 800 million years) and is estimated to be 190.1 light-years away from Earth."

Yeah, what's 800 million years between friends?

I wish there were a "wonderment" smilie. We are SOOOOOOOOO infinitesimal in the great scheme of things.

Don't forget to stop at Griffith Observatory next time you're out here, dando. :D

I also heard there's some Space Shuttle thingy out there. ;) Like I mentioned in my PM, the bucket list just grows and grows. But that darn Mouse keeps stealing my jack. ;)

"Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour..."
