PSR B1620-26b - What's the oldest planet on the top of the 'elders' in the universe?

In theory, our universe was formed about 13.8 billion years ago but the planet PSR B1620-26b is known for a lifetime of 12.7 billion years.

In theory, our universe was formed about 13.8 billion years ago but the planet PSR B1620-26b is known for a lifetime of 12.7 billion years. This turns the PSR B1620-26b into the oldest planet ever known in the universe.

  1. NASA declares the existence of the 9th planet in our Solar System
  2. Hell planet has snow even though the temperature is over 2,750 degrees Celsius
  3. Discovered 20 Earth-like planets that could contain life
  4. The deviating object in the Kuiper Belt may be the 10th planet of the solar system
