Here is more from their study:
Campante’s contribution was narrowing down the age of Kepler-444 and its planets to an astounding 11.2 billion years old. That’s nearly 2.5 times as old as our solar system. None of Kepler-444’s planets are thought to be habitable, as they circle the star at a scorchingly-close distance. However, Campante said that finding those planets is a great stride forward in the search for older, habitable worlds and the best may be yet to come.
“This system gives us hope that there are other habitable worlds that we can’t detect because we don’t have enough observing timespan yet,” Campante said.
If a star like this or another could have been inhabited by alien life do you think they were intelligent? Or maybe would we be able to travel there in a NASA lightspeed type craft? Maybe one day! Here is also a cool video of related search for planets that could have aliens also!
