Summary- A primordial star at the outer edge of the Milky Way Galaxy may change current theories of a star for the formation of the universe. The star name is SDS J102915+172927 say’s that this star has been around the universe since about at the beginning of time. The star is about 13 Billion years old it formed form the death of the first generation of stars. People believe that the universe itself is about approximately 13.7 Billion years old which would make this star very old.
Critique- I think that they don’t really have that much evidence that the universe or the star is around 13 billion years old. They look like they are just taking what they know or what they think they know and putting it together for forming a theory.
Impact- The impact is that if they put together more evidence more people will believe that this is true. Also they maybe able to study how old the universe really is.
