Experts said the finding gives “very compa rable results” to an earlier study that used a dif ferent method to conclude that the universe burst into existence with the theoretical "Big Bang" between 13 and 14 billion years ago. Harvey B. Richer, an astronomer at the University of British Columbia, said the Hubble Space Telescope gathered images of the faintest dying stars it could find in M4, a star cluster some 7,(XX) light years away. Richer said the fading stars, called white dwarfs, are actually burnt out coals of stars that were once up to eight times the size of the sun. After they exhausted their fuel, the stars col lapsed into Earth-sized spheres of cooling embers that eventually will turn cold and wink out of sight. Earlier studies had established the rate of cooling for these stars, said Richer. By looking at the very faintest and oldest white dwarfs pos sible, astronomers can use this cooling rate to estimate the age of the universe. Speaking at a news conference Wednesday, Richer said the dimmest of the white dwarfs are about 12.7 billion years old, plus or minus about half a billion years. Richer said it is estimated that star forma tion did not begin until about a billion years after the Big Bang. He said this means his best estimate for age of the universe is “about 13 billion years.” Three years ago, astronomers using another method estimated the age at 13 to 14 billion years. That was based on precise measurements of the rate at which galaxies are moving apart, an expansion that started with the Big Bang. They then back-calculated — like running a movie backward — to arrive at the ace estimate. Ancient stars shed light on age of universe NASA’s Hubble telescope has uncovered ancient stars that offer an independent reading of the age of the universe. The stars are white dwarfs, the oldest burned-out stars In the galaxy. Because astronomers know that these stars were formed shortly after the birth of the universe, they can calculate the universe's age by studying them.
