The oldest star in the known universe is the Methuselah star, also known as HD 140283, a subgiant star. This Star," is an intriguing cosmic anomaly. It is estimated to be an impossible 14.4 billion years old, apparently outliving the Universe itself, pegged at about 13.8 billion This age-defying act is less perplexing considering a massive margin of error: it might be as 'young' as 13.6 billion years. New studies suggest it is even younger. Marked by low metallicity, the Methuselah Star is a relic from the Universe's dawn, causing no scientific upset due to this age ambiguity. Yet, it provides ammunition for Big Bang skeptics to question the theory's validity. Subscribe to Science Time: https://www.youtube.com/sciencetime24 #science #shorts #space
