Our solar system might be 1.1 million years older than we thought

Astronomers have re-calculated the age of our photo voltaic system, and located it is rather barely older than we thought – 1.1 million years older, actually.

That places our photo voltaic system’s age at 4.5684 billion years, quite than 4.5673 billion years. “1.1 million years is a small change,” says Conel Alexander on the Carnegie Establishment for Science in Washington, DC. “But it surely does have essential implications for the origin of the early photo voltaic system.”

The earliest objects we are able to date within the …
