Aug 17, 2004 - A new estimate of the age of our Milky Way Galaxy suggests it was an
original member of the universe, having been born just about as early on as was
possible. The overall universe is about 13.7 billion years old.
Dec 4, 2008 - The age of the Milky Way is a tricky question to answer, though, because
we can say that the oldest stars are 13.4
billion years old but the galaxy as we know it today still had to form out of
globular clusters and dwarf elliptical galaxies in an elegant gravitational
dance.
The Milky Way is the galaxy that contains our Solar
System. The descriptive "milky" is derived ... The oldest stars
in the Milky Way are nearly as old as the Universe itself and thus probably formed shortly after the Dark
Ages of the Big Bang.
