From the Real Estate Home PageListen to this. Earlier this year, specialized satellites picked up gamma rays from an exploding star of 13 billion years ago!
Get this...the name of the dying star is GRB 090423. Why couldn't it just be Hugo or Elsie or something...sometimes scientists can be so scientific.
Anyway, after zeroing in on it with the telescope at the Gemini Observatory in Hilo, Hawaii...Harvard researcher Edo Berger et al determined that what they were seeing was the oldest object yet discovered in the universe!
According to these guys, GRB 090423 exploded more than 13 billion years ago, at a time when the universe was only 625 million years old...only?????
Listen. Would you like to see more interesting stuff about this? Check out the article at the link below from "Harvard Magazine". I'd tell you more if I understood half of it. Don't get me wrong...I love Astronomy, but that doesn't mean I'm smart in it!
